The wails project does this when. You can check it out here https://github.com/wailsapp/wails/blob/master/v2/internal/typescriptify/typescriptify.go for inspection.

Ask HN: What is the most pleasant, uncomplicated full stack to start with?
I have built Web front-ends (React or Svelte) with Go-backend. Embed in a web-view to make it a native desktop app, or get funky and give it native chrome/menus etc. [Wails](https://github.com/wailsapp/wails) is a good candidate to start if you want to cut on boiler plate.

Task runner like go-task/task, but in pure Go, no external DSLs
Is that what wails is doing here? (On mobile)

Game Server Development: How do you structure game state for easy, efficient, and configurable access?
In a "local" environment, where an executable can be provided to someone with the entire game contents. In this case, the game won't use WebSockets, and will instead use a Go/JS bridge (something like Wails) to connect.

Bare Metal Rust in Android
> At least with a language like Go, it somewhat makes sense, and has been attempted: https://gioui.org/
Gio UI is an immediate-mode UI, and immediate-mode UIs map very nicely to Rust. egui is quite easy to use. https://www.egui.rs/

net/http extension to exchange structs
I've been writing a WASM app using gio & I found myself wanting for a simplified web library. In addition I drew some inspiration from leptos server functions. A friend of mine mentioned it has some similarities with next.js

Are there any popular computer applications written in Golang?
Historically, C++. Today, (unfortunately) a lot of (non-game) desktop apps are written in HTML/CSS/JS using Electron. There are projects like Fyne and GIO that aim to make Go a viable language for building large-scale performant desktop apps. My open-source hobby project Supersonic is a music player app built using Fyne.

gomobile no longer maintained
It’s actually extremely easy, if you use one of the actively developed options like https://fyne.io or https://gioui.org for example. Flutter’s Dart may help with real-time hacking of UI but Go produces better code in the long run!
