Can someone explain this to me like I’m 5? I thought web assembly was primarily run in a browser. Is this saying you can run a wasm binary in your go project (outside of the browser)?

That is correct. It is a webassembly runtime that you can embed in your go project. There are also other wasm runtimes that run outside the browser, this is one written in Go
Correct!

Just like JavaScript was made to run in a browser, but additional runtimes have been created.
