Some Go web dev notes

there’s just 1 static binary, all I need to do to deploy it is copy the binary there’s a built-in webserver that’s okay to use in production, so I don’t need to configure WSGI or whatever to get it to work Go’s toolchain is very easy to install, I can just do apt-get install golang-go or whatever and then a go build will build my project it feels like there’s very little to remember to start sending HTTP responses – basically all there is are functions like Serve(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) which read the request and send a response. In general everything about it feels like it makes projects easy to work on for 5 days, abandon for 2 years, and then get back into writing code without a lot of problems. It feels easier to me to come back to my Go projects that are full of a lot of repetitive boilerplate, because at least I can read the code and figure out how it works.
