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.

99 times out of a hundred, sure. But sometimes you need better performance or a library that isn't available in JS.

Or even "use server.physics.go", which is where my mind went to (and where I've messed around with language interoperability with tinygo before).

This is such a wonderfully blursed and "smooth" implementation!
