    I've been searching for something like https://go-app.dev/ for years and never knew it existed. I wonder what else I'm missing.

  3. go

    The Go programming language

    Go's "nothing is async because everything is async" model, combined with WebAssembly's (current) lack of support for stack switching and arbitrary goto, essentially mean that the compiler needs to insert extra code everywhere to support arbitrarily un/rewinding the stack.

    This massively bloats binaries and means that go compiled to wasm is much slower than native speed, significantly more so than than the equivalent slowdown for c/rust.

    see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/65440
