So can anybody tell me if I can write a go app and run it in the browser yet.

Years ago people were talking about WASM, but did it every take off?

Miguel Liezun used yaegi https://github.com/traefik/yaegi compiled to WASM to let Klipse evaluate Go code snippets in the browser

How does it work with the std lib ? System calls surely don’t work in a wasm VM ?

You could compile Go to JS via GopherJS but doing so hardly makes sense outside of experiments as the size of the JS output is way too big.
