watgo - a WebAssembly Toolkit for Go

This article introduces watgo, a WebAssembly Toolkit for Go, similar to wabt (C++) or wasm-tools (Rust) but implemented in pure, zero-dependency Go. It provides both a CLI and a Go API for parsing WAT (WebAssembly Text) format, validating modules using official WebAssembly semantics, and encoding them into WASM binary format, as well as decoding WASM binaries back into a semantic representation called wasmir. The article includes a CLI installation example and a detailed API code snippet demonstrating how to parse a WAT program and analyze its functions, parameters, and instructions. This is a technical announcement relevant to software development and WebAssembly tooling.
