🧩 Go Build Tags in 2025: Clean Builds, Zero Ifs

One comment controls the binary. No flags. No if runtime.GOOS.

🔧 Use cases:

  • macOS/Linux specific syscalls
  • HSM vs fallback crypto
  • Enterprise-only features
  • Region-aware legal text
  • Silent public builds (no telemetry)

🎯 Why it matters:

  • No dead code
  • No runtime branching
  • No CI headaches
  • Full control per target
