One point in favour, from a Go fan: Go is far more maintainable than
C. I can think of some disadvantages, though.

To be fair I think the rendering quality can be attributed to the html/css
processing. For instance parsing is completely done by golang.org/x/net/html

What's this? and why is it needed? Hjfs already fixes the worst thing
about cwfs already (needing to copy files from one partition to

Yes, JS works in more limited than netsurf, although the latter has a little
functions.
One big disadvantage is not having 'colspan'...
