This may be related to #186 ...

I have this fairly smallish app, and I by pure habit imported fmt to do:

panic(fmt.Sprintf("Error: %s", err)

Etc.

But realize that my build goes from 80kb to 600kb.

And that isn't worth it just to simplify string building. Not sure what's inside fmt that makes it so bulky (Unicode tables?) ... But it would be nice to have something similar, but lighter.

Depending on how you're planning to use GopherJS, it may be very hard, if not unavoidable to not import fmt and some other very common standard library packages. Unless you write all your code by hand and avoid any dependencies that may import those packages.

#186 may indeed be the better general solution.

You are right. I have slept on it, closing.
