🛠️ go-binsync – Go binary patches up to 67× smaller than bsdiff
Summary
go-binsync is a performance-optimization proof of concept that generates significantly smaller binary patches for Go programs. It leverages Go-specific metadata embedded in compiled binaries to use a predictive-encoding approach for incremental updates.
Why it’s interesting
It achieves up to a 67 times smaller patch size compared to bsdiff for a one-line change in a Go binary.
