Hello Go community,
I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: Pterocos, a brand-new, free, open-source code editor that runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly.
What it does:
🐹 Go support – write and run Go code directly in your browser, no installation needed
🌐 Built on Monaco Editor (the engine behind VS Code)
🤖 Integrated AI assistant for debugging and code suggestions
📦 Multi-language support: Go, Python, Ruby, Rust, C#, PHP, Java, Lua, SQL (SQLite & DuckDB), and more
🔒 Privacy-first: your code stays in your browser's local storage by default
🌍 Optional sharing: publish projects publicly and get feedback from the community

This is a brand-new editor, and feedback from experienced Go developers like you matters a lot. I want to make sure the Go experience is solid – from syntax highlighting to code execution. Your input would be invaluable in shaping the future of this tool.
Some specific questions for the Go community:
What Go features would you expect from a browser-based editor?
Are there any Go-specific workflows you'd like to see (e.g., gofmt, go mod, testing)?
Does the current Go runtime feel fast enough for your needs?
I'd love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or even bug reports. Thank you for taking the time to check it out!
Best regards,
Amine Khd
