Why do you need programs that need runtime support?

Question

He said that the Golang is a compiled language, but what does it mean, compiled? If the golang application is compiled into machine code, why can't I just distribute the binary (of course, to the appropriate arch and platform) instead of go installstuff?

Answer 1

After compiling the binary file, you can distribute it to machines with the same architecture. go install, go run,etc. just needed to compile.
