Other note

Sooner or later you will hit html/template, and realize it's actually very weird and has a lot of weird issues.

Don't use html/template.

I grew to like Templ instead

Templ [1] is great!

Another go mod that helps a lot when massaging JSON (something most web servers end up doing sooner or later) is GJSON [2].

stdlib templates are a bit idiosyncratic and probably not the easiest to start with, but they do work and don't have "weird issues" AFAIK. What issues did you encounter?

I don't know what issues others have had with it, but for me one notable thing is that html/template strips all comments out. This is by design, but it's not documented anywhere. I've proposed making this configurable, but my proposal has gotten no traction so far.

I am just trying Templ. I like what I am seeing for the most part. There are some tooling ergonomics to work out. Lots of "suddenly the editor things everything is an error and nothing will autoimport or format" back to mostly working. Click to definition goes to the autogenerated code instead of the templ file. Couple things like that. But soooooooooo much better to deal with code gen than html/template. That thing is a pita

What’s so bad about html/template?
