I absolutely feel the same way. For me Node/NPM is the stuff of nightmares. It is freaking impossible to maintain any decent sized project (even side project) in this eco system within a reasonable time investment.

Then there is Go + SQLite + HTMX + AlpineJS + <enter your current flavor of CSS library> and you are done. No complex build / transpile / whatever steps, just go build and done. Deploying consists of copying one binary and one database file to your server and you're done. Building and running stuff is easy and fun again. The JS community can go kick rocks...

Yeah, I have dabbled a little bit with Go and I like it, it seems promising. I have also looked into Elixir and the Phoenix framework, and both of those do concurrent programming in a neat and understanding way in my opinion. Go has a little bit more weight behind it though.
