Does Go support JavaScript compilation?

Yes, Go can compile to JavaScript using tools like GopherJS and TinyGo. This allows Go developers to write frontend applications using Go instead of JavaScript. GopherJS compiles Go code into JavaScript, enabling web applications with Go logic running in the browser.

However, Go is not a native JavaScript replacement. While tools like WASM (WebAssembly) allow Go code to run in browsers efficiently, JavaScript remains the dominant language for frontend development.

How Go Can Compile to JavaScript:

GopherJS → Transpiles Go into JavaScript for web apps.
TinyGo → Supports WebAssembly (WASM) for browser execution.
Best for full-stack Go projects needing browser support.
