When building a bare-bones Guix System disk-image, "Guix", "Guile" and
"Guile-static" represent 331M of .go files, see:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
find /gnu/store/fvvpmrgnvr9jqxfn5m956xblisa8vzr4-guix-1.1.0-4.bdc801e
/gnu/store/ljcrz0d86r20phszvj6s1mdyjchz79ja-guile-static-stripped-3.0.2
/gnu/store/18hp7flyb3yid3yp49i6qcdq0sbi5l1n-guile-3.0.2-name "*.go"
-print0| du --files0-from=- -hc |tail -n1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
If we compare it to the 943M of the "reduced" image I'm working on, it
makes around 1/3 of the final image.

Wooh, interesting!
Having a lighter disk-image isn't very important on desktop, but for the
embedded devices with small eMMC, any improvement would be really
welcome :)
Thanks,
