HN comment order

A UI library which doesn't present a visual example of its capabilities on its landing page is missing the point. The underlying technology stack is secondary.

The big question for me: what's the advantage of doing this in Go? Is it just for people who like the language, or is it faster/a smaller build/something else? I only ask because WASM comes with some extra limitations and build complexity, especially when you're shipping a garbage collector
