my usual: ECMAScript
now working with: Go
things I miss/run into:

- type system I don't like but I can manage with it
- dependency management is incredibly opinionated and something like working on internal packages straight up doesn't work when you fork a project the usual way...
- no livereloading (nodemon <3)

because that passes the arguments to the included template

this syntax is fucking ridiculous

there's literally no way they could've made this more obtuse

@melivia I find the syntax rather arcane, and it has a much lower possibility-ceiling than what you can do with React?
