But yeah @prologic@twtxt.net, I am finally just starting to learn Go actually. It’s surprised me, from what I’ve seen, how simple some things can be on the web development side. For example something like the Gin web framework (example), things are happening in less boilerplate than often what I’ve seen in PHP frameworks etc which I didn’t expect.
