Even though Go is unlikely to be an ideal choice for a web browser, I had definitely wanted to venture into it just as a toy project. Unfortunately, it's obviously an enormous project, so I am absolutely nowhere on it.

That said, shameless plug: if anyone wants a reasonably complete but immature ECMA262 parser in Go, I did do that. You can see how (un)finished it is here, with the wasm build: https://cleansheets.io/parser/ - source here. https://github.com/jchv/cleansheets

The truth is, I'd like to still work on this and even see if it's plausible to build a decent JIT without going too far into the weeds (I wouldn't tolerate a requirement on Cgo personally) but given that I never even pushed up an interpreter (I had an AST-based interpreter, but it was so ugly that I scrapped it :) I doubt I'll get anywhere near Opossum. Oh well.

It'd still be fun to at least get some pages rendering. Probably no chance in hell I'd ever get over to milestones I'd actually like to (like booting GMail for example.)
