Thoughts on Go headless browser tools for testing and scraping?
It looks like https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp is the most popular option. There's also https://github.com/playwright-community/playwright-go. Any thoughts or advice about using these tools?

The following is sample code to achieve this. (Most of the code below is based on the sample in the README of Playwright for Go.)

HLive Update: Added Testing, Plugins, PubSub, and more. See comments for details
Seems that https://github.com/mxschmitt/playwright-go is sort of doing a similar thing in terms of controlling the frontend ?

Browser Automation
For python I used mechanize and later iteration, for go playwright is similar using a real headless browser which works very well.

Does Golang have stable support for Selenium WebDriver?
Similar story for Playwright. It supports more browsers than Puppeteer, and there are bindings for Golang, but it still isn't Selenium.

What makes Go unsuitable for UI development?
I do a lot of wired stuff with server-side virtual DOM, and I've found Go a good fit. I don't think inheritance is a problem with designing a component library. I've used struct and interface embedding to share common functionality. (see Tag and Tagger, then Component and Componenter as sort of examples).

My experiment in creating a good-performing alternative to ReactJS in Go
Poking through the repo at https://github.com/SamHennessy/hlive now. It's particularly interesting to me because I wanted to write a virtual DOM for something that did serverside rendering and clientside via WASM. I wanted to be able to parse a template language much like jsx or Angular templates for a delcarative syntax. A friend of mine I worked with years ago and I set up a 3 day hackathon. We went through some design work, decided we didn't have time in our lives to take on a project like this, and settled on using Go's html templating. I tried to reuse a lot of the concepts using a two pass method (since you can't hook into the parsing but can always register DOM listeners) thinking I could accept a little inefficiency in exchange for a lot less work. Finally, the weekend was over. We had some interesting ideas collected with some innovative new thoughts on state management, but he dove into his next project using Vue instead, and I haven't had time to continue.
