" summary

Go’s wasm target compiles real Go code for the browser using GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm and wasm_exec.js, and demos show working examples: hello world, DOM manipulation via the js.Value API, net/http mapped to fetch, and a grpc-go client talking to a backend. File sizes are concrete: a standard build lands at 2.44 MB, TinyGo produces 62 KB, and a full grpc example becomes 15.6 MB. Builds use go build, TinyGo (via Docker), protoc and asset embedding, and the examples run as demonstrated.
