Learn TINYGO-WASM with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 25, 2025
Practical Examples
Browser-based visualization using TinyGo Wasm
WASI command line tools written in Go
IoT device Wasm plugin for sensor processing
Edge functions running in Wasm serverless runtimes
TinyGo Wasm game loops running in browser
Troubleshooting
Use `tinygo build -x` to inspect commands
Check unsupported stdlib features
Use `wasm-tools validate` to verify module
Ensure correct import/export JS bindings
Review browser console for Wasm instantiation errors
Testing Guide
Unit test Go logic normally
Use wasm runners for integration tests
Use browser environment tests via Puppeteer
Benchmark Wasm functions with wasm-time
Validate Wasm manually with wasm-tools
Deployment Options
Browser + JS glue code
WASI command-line tool
Edge functions in Spin or WasmCloud
Standalone Wasm modules executed via CLI
Embedded runtimes inside Go/Node/Rust applications
Tools Ecosystem
TinyGo compiler
wasm-tools / wasm-opt optimizers
WASI-runtimes (wasmtime, wasmer, wazero)
Browser JS bridge
Spin/Fermyon for serverless Wasm functions
Integrations
Browser JavaScript APIs
WASI-compatible runtimes
WasmCloud (via capability providers)
Fermyon Spin applications
Edge networks like Cloudflare Workers (Wasm-based)
Productivity Tips
Use Makefiles for consistent Wasm building
Rely on wasm-opt for production builds
Keep Go code modular and small
Use TypedArrays for efficient interop
Test Wasm separately from JS
Challenges
Incomplete stdlib coverage
Limited reflection/unsafe features
Debugging optimized Wasm
JS -> Wasm memory management
Behavior differences from full Go compiler
