Description
The js space is pretty matured and generally to develop a good application I would rather use existing tools like webpack, fusebox to bundle/minify/optimize my js and then finally deploy. It would be great if joy could be implemented like a webpack-loader where it compiles golang code to js (es5 preferrably) and from there on things like hot-reloading just come into place and we don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Other languages like typescript also are plugged into webpack and this makes it easy for a multi language setup if needed.
Is this anyway possible to implement?

Research direction
Start by reading Joy's existing Go-to-JavaScript compiler entry points and the webpack loader interface. Determine how compilation should expose ES5 output and integrate with webpack's rebuild or hot-reloading flow. Done would mean a defined loader design and a working webpack integration, but the issue does not name files or tests.
