Runs shockingly smoothly once it starts, though.
I started experimenting with Go-WASM recently and learnt that writing non-blocking code is very crucial, Timer even inside a Goroutine blocks & crashes WASM. Leading me to use unreliable JS timers(albeit mitigating it with a worker) and performing only non-blocking compute on WASM. Is this just a consequence of using Go for WASM(i.e. lack of WASM threads), What are people who built LibreOffice in WASM or Doom3 using?…
Wait... Isn't LO a Java application? Have we created a new way to shove Java into a browser, but this time with the JVM itself inside the browser ?

I think you're confusing it with OpenOffice. IIRC LibreOffice is mostly C/C++.
I say almost, because we still have some QA code used for unit tests that is Java.
In Safari on iPadOS and MacOS, after a minute or two of downloading, I got the following message: Application exit (TypeError: Cannot convert "undefined" to int) The page did finish loading and compiling in Chrome on my Mac. Menus, text input, etc. seemed to work but were sluggish, just as the standalone LibreOffice was for me on my ten-year-old MacBook Pro. (It works fine on my M1 Mac mini.)
