GopherJS is a compiler that transpiles Go source code into pure JavaScript, allowing Go programs to run in browsers and Node.js. It supports nearly all Go features including goroutines, enabling front-end development in Go.
Use cases
- compile go code to javascript
- write frontend in go
- run go in the browser
- share go code between backend and frontend
- port go libraries to javascript
When to choose
- you want to write browser applications in Go
- you need to reuse existing Go code in JavaScript environments
- you prefer Go's type system and tooling for front-end work
When to avoid
- you need cgo or native Go runtime features
- WebAssembly via the official Go compiler is a better fit
- you need the latest Go version support immediately
