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.

Beautiful. Minor feedback: rather than having a "use golang" directive, just allow imports of .go files. This is more idiomatic for JS bundlers.

That would also avoid the problem with this syntax, that it's not a valid Go file (it doesn't start with `package ...` and I don't think a bare top-level string is valid), which lots of editors will be pretty unhappy about.
