Loom: Go + WebAssembly UI Framework (Experimental)

Loom is an experimental UI framework for the web.

Goal: Build UIs with Go compiled to WebAssembly (WASM). Svelte-inspired, meaning: compile-time optimization, no virtual DOM, fast, small.

🚨 WARNING: This is deep alpha. Expect breakage. This is research.

Why?

• Go on frontend.
• WASM speed.
• Svelte's minimal runtime.
• Because we can.

How (The Gist)

1. Write .loom files (HTML + Go script + CSS).
2. loom build runs our custom compiler.
3. Compiler generates Go code, raw HTML, and tiny JS glue.
4. Go compiles to main.wasm.
5. Browser loads WASM. Go code updates DOM directly via JS bridge.

Status

MVP build in progress. Focus on:

• Parser for .loom
• $state reactivity
• Surgical DOM updates (comment anchors)
• Go ↔ JS event/state bridge
• Basic loom build CLI.

Usage

Not ready for public use yet. Code is here.
