Show HN: Write Chrome Extensions in Go

TLDR;<p>Go -&gt; Gopherjs -&gt; Javascript running like any other Chrome extension. Go isn&#x27;t running in Chrome extensions as &quot;native client&quot; here.

First thought: &quot;I swear to god if this involves compiling Go to Javascript...&quot;

I was hoping someone finally figured out a good way to start the Go runtime from node&#x2F;c&#x2F;c++. Once this feature exists it will be trivial to write Go extensions&#x2F;modules for Chrome, Apache, Node, MySQL, you name it.

This more or less should work with Opera extensions too.

nice, but it&#x27;s way easier in Dart and if you want to develop Chrome Packaged App there is even project template for this in DartEditor

For developing Chrome Extension, why would anyone want to use Go over Javascript?

This github naming convention (that I see often with Go code) of using the product target name as the project name is starting to annoy me.<p>Also does anyone have any idea why Gopherjs would be better than Clojurescript, Typescript, Coffeescript, etc?
