Is there a library for (or sample server programs in) shell
that uses websockets for communication?

[*] I've found for example a simple_websocket_server based
Python code, but I'm lacking Python proficiency to judge
whether that's a good language for such things.
FWIW a few years back I found it easy to implement a client/server with websockets using Go (google Golang) with no previous experience in that language (it's very C-like and there are websockets packages for it).
The client side was also running Javascript.
