I think we need the matrix.

Also, it would be nice to see the tinygo binary size, compared to the regular binary size.

Yes that would be very helpful. Since this is quite some data we want to analyze, it would probably be a good idea to build some tooling around that to minimize the manual work

[rminnich]

I think the tinygo size comparison could be part of the CI tasks.

+1 for matrix.

Once there is a matrix, with some data as an example to allow future iterations, I think this will then be good to go

[leongross]

This idea is good, but I think we should keep the overview simple for now and extend it over time with a matrix build overview and a ci integration.

CI fails due TLS handshake timeout ...

CI fails due TLS handshake timeout ...

likely an issue already at HEAD. I'd find it hard to believe this markdown change has anything to do with that.

did a rebase, let's see if it is a persistent issue.

[10000TB]

it looks like we all agree there need a matrix, but there is no objection to allow this go in first.

Added a tracker / FR to add a compatibility matrix: https://github.com/orgs/u-root/projects/2/views/1?pane=issue&itemId=66662510.

I'll make sure the FR is completed before closing the tab on tinygo.

thanks,
