The discussion centers on the challenges and opportunities presented by creating extensible WebAssembly (WASM) applications using Go. Notably, the community-driven aspect of the Go/WASM project means progress can be slow, depending heavily on volunteer availability. Debugging WASM modules presents additional hurdles, particularly regarding the size of the binaries produced by Go, which can be cumbersome, especially for deployment on platforms like Cloudflare Workers. Although TinyGo offers a solution for smaller binary sizes, it also comes with trade-offs in compilation speed and careful library usage.
