As someone new to Go, and very happy with it - I am somewhat skeptical from past experiences in other languages of doing something like this. (Although it is very nice!). I remember generating JS code in Rails in ERB's, and I always felt handicapped by it, and would usually just figure out what I needed in JS (and my JS sucked at the time). I also would spend more time debugging the issues from Rails --> JS, which I didn't feel gave me any useful skills besides dealing with the beast of Rails. Thoughts?
I have been using gopherjs for some time now and had almost no issues at all with it. On the contrary, gopherjs allows me to write frontend code just like normal go code (even go-routines!) and re-use backend components on the frontend.
The only downside is a relatively large file size for the generated js code.
