+I regenerated the [Tiny Binaries][] chart with the following changes:
+
+* Added [Rust 1.59][].
+* Added [TinyGo 0.22.0][tinygo].
+* Replaced [Go 1.18beta1][] with [Go 1.18rc1][].
+
+### Results

+  caption="All Static Binary Sizes"
+>}}
+
+### Notes
+
+* [TinyGo][] binaries are ... tiny!
+* [Go 1.18rc1][] generates slightly larger binaries than [Go
+  1.18beta1][].
+* [Rust 1.59][] generates slightly smaller binaries than [Rust
+  1.57][rust 1.57].
+* [UPX][] still makes a huge difference.
+
+See the [tiny-binaries GitHub repository][repo] for additional details
+and a table of results.
