It's good to see an example of Go running in the browser via WebAssembly. I've been trying to decide between Go and C++ for targeting WASM, but it's not clear whether Go is a good choice for this and whether WASM support is a priority for the language's developers.

Go is not currently a good choice. The runtime is quite inefficient and performance is abysmal. Not to mention the huge binaries.
It'll get there, with time, but for now I'd avoid it for anything serious.
Tinygo is a bit better in this regard.
