Yeah I think this is a case of an old timer not having the perspective of the younger generation

`GOOS=windows go build ./...` versus all the jank you have to do with C is just not at all comaprable

Try to do that for a Windows UWP, iOS, Android or z/OS application, in pure Go.

Yes it is super easy, in a few selected workflows of Linux, BSD, Windows, macOS, everything else is just as "complicated" as regular C cross compilation.

Good thing I don't write code for those platforms! :P
