I started a monolith-style web application couple of weeks ago and force to admit that Go is more and more fun to use where I was considering more like Django or Rails before.

For me there was still the templates aspect that needed to be fixed, and I wrote a library for that. The other major place where I was not enjoying myself was the database code, found it way to repetitive for application that had a lot of SQL tables.

We're in a very good place at the moment and the benefits of having a compiled language to build heavy backend web application is great.

As always if you want to support the show you may purchase my courses Build SaaS apps in Go and Build a Google Analytics in Go.
