Go is Not Just on Your Server, it's in Your Browser: Intro to Vugu
summary
Vugu compiles .vugu single‑file components into Go source with vugugen, then builds a WebAssembly .wasm that runs a Go runtime in the browser and synchronizes a virtual DOM to the real DOM. It supports declarative directives like vg-if, vg-for and vg-content, lifecycle callbacks, hot reload, a router, server‑side rendering option, and tinygo for smaller binaries (current wasm builds are a few megabytes). Live demo fetches JSON via http.get and renders raw HTML via an html interface.
