Solod (So) is a strict subset of Go that transpiles to readable C11 code with zero runtime, no garbage collection, and native C interop. It ships a standard library ported from Go's stdlib, including concurrency primitives, while keeping everything stack-allocated by default.

Use cases

• write systems-level code in Go and compile to C
• transpile Go source to readable C11
• use Go syntax and tooling for embedded or C projects
• call C code from Go-like code without CGO
• avoid garbage collection while keeping Go ergonomics
• generate C libraries from Go code

When to choose

• you know Go and need C-level control or output
• you want Go's safety and tooling in a C codebase
• you need zero-runtime, no-GC compilation to C
• you want bidirectional C interop without CGO

When to avoid

• you need full Go, goroutines, or the complete Go runtime
• you need production-grade stability today
• you rely heavily on generics or Go's built-in concurrency
• you need a GC or automatic memory management
