I built a Vite plugin that lets you write Go code directly in .js files using a "use golang" directive. It compiles to WebAssembly automatically.

seems like an unintuitive idea that could have only come from someone infected by react/vercel. The natural way that most would think about this is just write go in a go file and have an import attribute or macro

Fair take! Though, this was literally built as a joke in response to @ibuildthecloud's tweet. Sometimes the dumbest ideas are the most fun to prototype.

Are there vaccines for these infected? I hope we can stop the spread /s
