    That said, I’ve been starting hobby projects with Go+HTMX for about a month and that’s been pretty fun

    Amen to that! Go is easily my favourite language for writing web backends. 95% of what one needs for the average web project is part of the standard library, including that really nice automatically-multithreaded web server. And the html templating is wonderful to work with. Most of what I write has to work javascript-free in a default-settings Tor browser. Go's templating makes it really simple to do server-side rendering of complex pages.

    A nice bonus is that the very C-like syntax meshes well with my grew-up-on-C brain. For me PHP's syntax is downright Lovecraftian.
