Jacobin: Minimal JVM written in Go and capable of running Java 17 classes
Ummm, excuse me, but where the f&$k has this been hiding? I’ve been looking for ways to extend my go applications with scripting support. I started with Lua (worked ) then Python (worked but hacky) then javascript using otto [1]. However it lacks ES6 support so having pretty OOP js code is a non-starter. I would love to have Java as a runtime that can be executed from goroutines.

Running a Js file inside Go
Either call a JavaScript interpreter like node with exec.Command and read its stdout, or use a pure Go JavaScript interpreter like goja or otto.

Suggestion for a dynamic Struct Validation Rules
Otto https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto Seems interesting. It lets me call Go functions from inside JS as well as return results. The fncs pattern reminds me a bit of how the template engine works.

Wazero: The zero dependency WebAssembly runtime for Go developers
> why host other languages
Here's an example:
I recently finished building https://subzo.com.au which allows customizing and ordering 3D models. The way the model's cost, volume and other attributes are calculated needs to be done both on the frontend (for speed) and on the backend (to validate). Backend is in Go and we can't practically run Go in the browser. So instead, I wrote the calculation snippets in JavaScript (which runs natively in the browser) and ran them on the backend on a JavaScript VM library written in Go [1].

Choosing scripting extension - need advice
Googling suggests https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto which allows scripting in javascript for golang projects. This would be definitely enough, but in some way it may be a bit overkill - and scripts supporter shall need some knowledge of javascript which is not always straightforward :)

I write my own web desktop OS for 3 years and this is what it looks like now
It doesn't make sense to ask the user (aka me) to change the code every time I want to modify any web apps right? So I decided to split the webapps into two parts. WebApps are those only require basic permissions and do not interact with the host OS. They will be run inside a sandbox created using ECMA5 VM called Otto. The other type is called Subservice, in which it will need extra permission to interact with the OS and require higher level of access to the backend file system.

Apparently "not depending on Node or V8" means depending on some random Go JS engine instead.

Just to also say this is implemented in pure Go we aren't including V8 or any external dependencies we instead use https://github.com/dop251/goja which is a JS VM written completely in Go.

how to JSON Marshal a struct if one of its fields is a fucntion
If you want to serialize a function to JSON one idea may be to embed a scripting language like JavaScript into your program. The goja package is a very good solution: a native ES5 JavaScript (with some ES6 syntax support as well) natively implemented in Go so you can get tight data bindings to your Go types and funcs. For your JSON marshalling you could serialize a JavaScript function source (text) and when reloading that, parse that text with goja to be able to run it dynamically in your Go program. Basically you'd need to get away from pure Go for this and towards something that is JSON compatible to (de)serialize to text.

Anyone experienced in golang ssr?
Not really. It was built in-house and I don't know of anything about it that went public. I recall it using Goja for the JS runtime. Code was embedded into the binary (think embed package). There was some kind of sorcery to convert what would be HTTP network calls in the browser into local function calls during SSR, but I'm hazy on how it worked I'm afraid.
