vugu VS gopherjs

I can't share any of my own examples, but most of the work I do was originally based on Vugu[0] which is open source. It is loosely modelled on Vue, so template files have both HTML and Go source (for the view / front end / ui handling) in the one file.[1] The code I have written has since diverged a bit from Vugu but at its core it's handled the same way.

People are still working on Vugu (you can check the issues / branches) but there hasn't been a new release in a while; it's still somewhat experimental.

. Web backend (with various frameworks available) . Web Assembly (one of them is vugu framework) . Microservices (some frameworks: Go Micro, Go Kit, Gizmo, Kite) . Fragments services (Term mentioned by @jeffotoni in a microservices discussion group) . Lambdas (FaaS example) . Client Server . Terminal applications (using the tview lib) . IoT (some frameworks) . Bots (some here) . Client Applications using Web technology . Desktop using Qt+QML, Native Win Lib (example Qt, Qt widgets, Qml) . Network Applications . Protocol applications . REST Applications . SOAP Applications . GraphQL Applications . RPC Applications . TCP Applications . gRPC Applications . WebSocket Applications . GopherJS (compiles Go to JavaScript)

Aside from Blazor there's already some other projects like Yew (rust), seed (rust), asm-dom (C++) and vugu (Go) and more that have decent followings and activity. A lot more (especially managed languages) are waiting for some features to come online like wasm GC and host bindings (direct wasm access to browser apis which includes the DOM). It'll take a bit of time, but it'll get there eventually.

Vugu

It depends on how specifically you don't want to write HTML/CSS/JS and how broad your definition of "frontend" is. There are a handful of all-go frontend frameworks such as Vecty and Vugu of varying maturity and completeness. Then there's other libraries that more or less have you write HTML tags in go, such as go-app.

Something like Vugu looks like it could have some potential.

There is https://www.vugu.org/ It's Vue, but Go instead of JS.

A note on wasm: I'm building a hobby project with it right now and have tried different frameworks, I tried vecty which is nice to compile but full of bugs and unexpected behavior. I'm now on vugu which works better but is still harder to work with than a JS framework.

If you have the option go for https://www.vugu.org/ and use the go language. Much better language started by google in 2006 vs JavaScript which was started in I think 1995?

IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

Release notes have all the details. For now it is just compatibility with the 1.18 standard library, but generics support is planned.

Why not use https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs with jMonkeyEngine as-is?

When I wrote my first project in this year, I don't even planed to used blazor. But my childlike curiosity directed me on that path. I wanted to know, haw hard will be port game from desktop to web browser in .net. And I found out is not that hard. But I have experience with similar tools before. I used gopherjs and emscripten. Thanks to that I know what must to do, to communicate c# with javasrcipt. I made working blazor port pretty fast. Not only server side but webassembly to. Of curs create port for different platform always generate some problems. Most weird problem I have in blazor is how floating point number behave. I received in some cases NaN values. This problem I resolve adding value like 0.0001 in calculation.

If you're already building the backend in go and you don't like the prospect of coding in JavaScript it might be worth trying out https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs

Maybe this is were https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs will truly shine? Has anyone ever seen Go used for this?

You can also write JS in Go with GopherJS, but if you don't fully understand the underlying JS webdev ecosystem, adding this extra layer of complexity is probably a really bad idea, at least at first.
