Some examples of TinyGo.
TinyGo is a project to bring Go to microcontrollers and small systems with a single processor core. It is similar to emgo but a major difference is that the project aims to keep the Go memory model (which implies garbage collection of some sort). Another difference is that TinyGo uses LLVM internally instead of emitting C, which hopefully leads to smaller and more efficient code and certainly leads to more flexibility.
You should be able to use the docker image of tinygo to compile the examples:
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/go/src/github.com/conejoninja/tinygoexamples tinygo/tinygo build -o /go/src/github.com/conejoninja/tinygoexamples/bin.hex -target=microbit github.com/conejoninja/tinygoexamples/microbit/scrolltext
Then copy the bin.hex to your BBC micro:bit
Documentation is currently maintained on a dedicated ReadTheDocs page.
If you're looking for a more interactive way to discuss TinyGo usage or development, there's a #TinyGo channel on the Gophers Slack.
If you need an invitation for the Gophers Slack, you can generate one here which should arrive fairly quickly (under 1 min): https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org
