Running Go in Browsers Using WASM

on YouTube ↗08m

" summary

Shows that Go compiles to WebAssembly and runs real Go code inside Chrome, Firefox and Safari using the Go toolchain to emit a .wasm plus the wasm_exec.js shim. Demonstrates calling Go functions from JavaScript via the syscall/js bridge, builds a small image-processing example to prove feasibility, and reports typical simple binaries around 1–2 MB with slower startup but near-native compute once warmed. Includes exact build commands and a browser demo that executes.
