Go-boot: bare metal Go UEFI boot manager

I'm confused, is it bare metal or is it an EFI application? (bare metal used to mean that something can run without services, like those that UEFI provides)

I really like this idea but can anyone please summarize what it does for me. To me it feels very fascinating (bare metal golang in general) but I am not sure I truly understand its usecase and I would love to know more.

There's also Sprout by Edera https://github.com/edera-dev/sprout

The TamaGo project (which this uses for running on bare metal) looks super impressive! Kudos to the authors for getting this working.

I wonder what GC changes had to be made, if any.

I wonder if it supports multiprocessing.

The bare metal list is quiet thin.

Why is so HW focused ? I use refind and it seems to be HW independent.

As much as I appreciate Go, putting it on bare metal makes me cringe a little.

missed chance to name it Goo-Boot
