for those who believe in decentralisation, the existence of central registries for Rust, Javascript and Python should be red flags for choosing to use these languages

Or there is an opportunity in decentralizing those registries. I guess it hasn't been done because it's not particularly rewarding job to do.
How's golang different for example? #noobquestion
it uses addresses... you pull dependencies by requesting a git path, mostly, like "mleku.dev/git/nostr"
i don't have to register it, there is no issues with name conflicts because that's already handled by DNS
technically you can even use raw ip addresses, and teh IDEs learn them meaning even DNS is not strictly needed for it to work
Aha, thanks sir!
Have a, slightly, better understanding now.
What would your web app stack look like then, htmx + golang?
what you build the front end is a matter of taste/familiarity, go is just good for building sophisticated web services in a neat little package with front end launcher baked in (using embed)
yes, i'm pretty sure that fiatjaf's background is in doing golang web dev, he knows also the web dev to a fair degree but is kinda more back end oriented
what is not much fun to do with go is desktop/mobile apps... you may recall keybase - that is a similar architecture, go does all the compute and logic at the back, and on the front is an electron app... on mobile, you can embed go services in the back end but it's more tricky to plug it into flutter or native java or whatever
native go GUI programming has been very neglected, the best framework now is fyne, but it's still hardly what i'd call production ready
