> You should write your next web server in Go
Are people writing their own web servers these days? is that a thing? Seems like everyone uses nginx.

“Your own web server” here means “your own program that serves HTTP requests”, and yes, people write programs like that all the time.
A web server is Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, etc. What you just described is a Web Application, which I develop all the time on python -> uwsgi -> nginx stack.
For the record, I'm not blaming you, but the author for the confusing language. The title says "Web Development in Go" -- web dev is traditionally web applications/html/css etc, not typically including servers. Then their opening sentence is "You should write your next web SERVER in Go"
/pedant
That includes apache, nginx, etc. It also includes programs written in X language that process HTTP requests.
