While Go is not a traditional frontend language, it can be used for frontend development with tools like GopherJS and WebAssembly (WASM). GopherJS compiles Go code into JavaScript, allowing developers to build web-based applications without writing JavaScript. TinyGo + WebAssembly also enables Go code to run efficiently in browsers.
However, Go is not a direct alternative to JavaScript frameworks like React or Vue. It is best suited for backend development, though it can contribute to frontend tasks in specific use cases like real-time web apps.
Best Use Cases for Go in Frontend:
GopherJS for converting Go to JavaScript.
WebAssembly (WASM) for browser-based execution.
Go for real-time web applications with backend logic integration.
