I miss writing in PHP, Laravel is truly the goat framework
But I am a go maximalist now there's no going back
Discussion
No GOing back? 🤔
go has no proper frameworks because it has all the HTTP in net/http and the rest
oh, people make these things, but honestly for most purposes you don't need the whole thing, just some database interface and maybe some codec, maybe some templates
if web dev is your thing you need to master template/text and template/http
i use the text one sometimes to do code generators but honestly not that often, and generics have taken away a substantial number of the cases a generator would be useful
I made gostart for this
i like this kind of thing... sprawling go.mod files grind my gears
I think you’re right—web development seems to be shifting back towards simplicity. For a while, web apps were becoming increasingly complex, but languages like Go are bringing us back to a more straightforward approach. In the past, processing power was a bigger limitation than framework complexity. By stripping away excess complexity, we’re regaining the speed and efficiency that might have been lost. It’s a refreshing change!

You are allowed to have multiple tools in your belt. I, like many swap between like 4 or 5 languages per day.
