I just tested it and a simple hello world program still produces a 1.7MiB binary, while the device only has 512KiB of RAM.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello world")
}

Strip the debug info, should be a lot smaller. Also check out TinyGo, it's meant for embedded devices
