Generate CommonJS / AMD compatible .js files

[coopernurse]

Not a high priority for me, but probably something to consider. It looks like it would be pretty easy to support as it just impacts the wrapper code around the generated .js file.

mustache.js has a good example:

https://github.com/janl/mustache.js/blob/master/mustache.js

(function (root, factory) {
  if (typeof exports === "object" && exports) {
    module.exports = factory; // CommonJS
  } else if (typeof define === "function" && define.amd) {
    define(factory); // AMD
  } else {
    root.Mustache = factory; // <script>
  }
}(this, (function () {

   // body code here

  var exports = {};
  // bind all exported identifiers -- similar to current output

  return exports;

}())));

This would work with require.js, CommonJS (e.g. node.js), and plain <script> tags.

Right now go2js -- just line to line syntax translator, it's not a go language implementation (even partial). So there is no packages format yet.

I think that's too early to think about that kind of stuff.
