GoX is a Go language extension that compiles HTML-like templates from .gox files into plain Go code (.x.go), enabling type-safe HTML templating with full editor integration via a language server that proxies gopls. It's interesting because it treats templates as first-class Go expressions while maintaining debuggability and editor features through bidirectional source mapping.
