Not exactly sure why you would want to provide JavaScript scripting for Go. Go has different concurrency primitives and a different threading model, and that threading model is one of the biggest selling points of Go. I highly doubt this would be "the next node", if that is the intention. If you want to use Go, just use Go.

You can use it as a scripting language for your app. For example, a go binary with customizable hooks scripted in JS. That way anyone who knows JS can customize the binary for their specific use case.

Like openresty/Nginx with Lua integration. JavaScript is way more popular than Lua, so this have wide possibilities..

I thought the whole point of Show HN was for the creator to post their own project so that we can then talk to them about it. It doesn't make sense to create Show HN for any ol project.

Is that the case? I thought it might have been, but then took a gander at the "Show" tab and noticed other people were clearly submitting stuff with the [Show HN] prefix when they weren't the original author. Apologies if I screwed up. Definitely not trying to take credit for Ryan's work.

Show HN's definitely have a prestige because we think it's the author's debut of the project, feel like we're helping out a community member, and expect them to be fielding answers in the comments.

Else everything is a Show HN. Like Show HN: Google's new privacy policy. ;)

I guess the idea is to use URL's for importing packages. And have an extra security layer in the runtime.

I've done some concept/prototype for this but in the browser, and the main complaint is that it takes a few extra ms the first time you run the program. But as this is meant for servers and not impatient users, the extra startup time should not be a big issue.

I'm pretty sure it is for showing your own work, but I wouldn't worry about it. The "Show" label is relatively minor, and this is certainly an interesting project to share! There's a link to the rules/guidelines at the top of the "show" page: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html > Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in…

Thanks for the explanation, won't make the same mistake twice, this was my first submission ever on HN.
