Crazy idea, but: Now that wasm is 'official', why not push browser vendors to put the Go runtime/stdlib, built for wasm, right into the browser so it doesn't need to be downloaded with every single *.wasm project?
Of course, to be fair, not just Go -- why not also python-wasm-runtime, c-wasm-runtime, rust-std-runtime, ... This would require some sort of 'runtime plugin' standard with versioning, feature-query and supply-chain security/update mechanisms, of course, but wouldn't it be nice? I've been playing with gopherjs and go-wasm, and the big downside to both is that the baseline *.js file is 1.5-2MB or more, due to bundling a complete language runtime that must download with every app. With official 'blessed' wasm runtimes for major languages we could finally break the deadlock on JS in the browser. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
