Ensmallening Go binaries by prohibiting comparisons

This technical article explains how Go's equality and comparison semantics impact binary size. It details how struct padding and compiler-generated equality functions increase binary size, and demonstrates how using the `comparable` type constraint or `func(){}` field to prohibit comparisons can lead to smaller executables.
