I am not in any way “pro go” but it’s also very clear that JS is not the future. I know it’s where a LOT of people are right now but it’s been artificially pumped up to such a massive degree by being literally the only viable choice for the web for the entirety of its existence… and that’s starting to change and from both a technical, performance and development experience it is going to lose when that advantage goes away.
I assume you are talking about WebAssembly/WASM/etc?
Foreword: I'm not super up-to-date on the state of these things, I'll refer to to as WASM from here on out but if that's not the right term then substitute it for "whatever it is that lets you write code, compile it to something that runs in the browser that isn't JS".
I don't think the future is clear at all. Honestly, I'd expect to see some kind of "Compile your JS ahead of time to this WASM bundle" before we see web developers switching over in droves to some other language that can be compiled to WASM.
Unless you take over full rendering, my understanding is you have to provide some kinds WASM<->DOM bridge to interact with it, my knowledge may be dated.
I write web apps in Javascript (Typescript), real "apps", not "everything should be a SPA just because", and would be interested in anything that improves performance and/or developer experience. There are some data-crunching operations that might run faster in something WASM and/or some aspects that I'd love to share between client and server (and the server can't run JS in this case). That said, everything I have seen is a significant downgrade in developer experience for something that is semi-supported.
I look forward to WASM support maturing and the developer experience improving. To my knowledge there is not a Vue/React-WASM-type framework out there yet or any framework for building web apps in WASM (without starting from a blank canvas).

Not sure if these qualify, but these Rust web frameworks use wasm:
