    Fullstack app framework for web, desktop, and mobile.

    I've been using Dioxus for a personal project and I really love it. I wrote a blog post about how I'm using Trunk as well.

  4. gopherjs

    A compiler from Go to JavaScript for running Go code in a browser

    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

  5. interface-types

    Yes, and if I'm not mistaken, this is the RFC

  6. proposals

    Tracking WebAssembly proposals (by WebAssembly)

    Yes there is! Caveat - it’s expected that this is still taking quite some time. A central issue is that this affects the „sandboxedness“ of WASM modules, you’d have additional allocations from other processes that you can’t take ownership of. The classical solution is to allow a form of GC or even share the GC with the JS VM. That’s a tough task, considering you don’t want to build something into the compiler that is browser-specific or VM-specific. A good item to track is https://github.com/WebAssembly/proposals/issues/16. you can follow the connected issues and you’ll see that there is still lots of stuff to do.

  7. realworld

    "The mother of all demo apps" — Exemplary fullstack Medium.com clone powered by React, Angular, Node, Django, and many more

    Can't seem to find it right now, but it was based on the frameworks implementing the "realworld" app/specs.
