From their own documentation [1]

> The dnscrypt-proxy file is quite large, but can be compressed for a massive reduction of its size, from ~12 Mb down to ~2 Mb.

Routers typically have 8-16 Mb of storage. Even 2 Mb is a bit much but even if the size doesn’t bother you the memory usage is still relatively extreme when compared to the link I shared.

Sure that’s fair, not really specific to Go though


Go specifically makes a bunch of choices that lead to (somewhat, it's by no means extreme) larger executables. Which is fine, but means it's not the best choice for the specific usecase of targeting tiny devices.
