In plain words

This is a lightweight webview library designed for developers building cross-platform applications in C and Go. It allows developers to embed a web-based user interface into their applications without requiring heavy dependencies. The library provides a minimal wrapper around native webview components, making it suitable for developers who need web-based UIs but want to keep their application footprint small and maintain compatibility across different operating systems.

    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/
