Hello there, I’m the creator of https://go-app.dev, a similar project based on Go and wasm.

Here are some thought of doing it with Go:

- The language itself is simple, clean and straightforward

- Compile time error checking

- Standard library that cover a lot of use-cases

- Testing and profiling tools out of the box with the language

- There is not that much extra limitations, just you can’t pop a server in the browser or access filesystem (same with other languages)

- When gzipped, wasm binaries are not that bigger than combined js resources on some other websites

- Wasm is supposed to be faster but that depends on the browser implementation and also the ui package you are using

Here is 2 other projects that I built with a Go wasm codebase: https://murlok.io and https://lofimusic.app. Can really do cool things with it.
