Please note; the Lisa conforms more literally to the desktop metaphor than most modern GUIs - some of the important differences are mentioned in the readme. This is a complete recreation of the UI in JS; it all renders to a single…

No gc, No goroutines, Produces small binaries while using the unmodified official go toolchain, and comes with complete Web SDK (generated from w3c/webref). We are building `pcz` to provide a reimagination of Go the language, in an effort to make it suitable for all kinds of programming tasks, and currently you can use it to build efficient web applications in Go using the generated Web SDK (as shown with the live web demo[1]). The journey is just starting, any suggestions? or any critics? [1]: https://primecitizens.github.io/livedemos/10-plat-web/

Some highlights: * Tasks are executed in a Docker container * Can run stand-alone or distributed * Highly extensible * Able to enforce limits (CPU/RAM) per task * Web UI Would love the get your feedback on it, and find out if this could be useful.

Doors: Server-driven UI framework + runtime for building stateful, reactive web applications in Go. Some highlights: * Front-end framework capabilities in server-side Go. Reactive state primitives, dynamic routing, composable components. * No public API layer. No endpoint design needed, private temporal transport is handled under the hood. * Unified control flow. No context switch between back-end/front-end. * Integrated web stack. Bundle assets, build scripts, serve private files, automate CSP, and ship in one binary. How it works: Go server is UI runtime: web application runs on a…
