"I think Node is not the best system to build a massive server web. I would use Go for that. And honestly, that’s the reason why I left Node. It was the realization that: oh, actually, this is not the best server-side system ever."
Heavy computation still ties up the event loop in Node.js. We're just not talking about it as much because most people deploy to serverless functions nowadays which can spin up compute upon request. I love serverless and use it with https://standupjack.com, but it comes with it's own tradeoffs!
But then he created deno....
I just don't want a NodeJS backend, all our team wants is to use a Golang backend which saves us ton of resources, which means less instances required, which means less $$$ (and Golang is awesome - performant, easy to read and write, easy to code concurrency, type safe without the hassle, built-in test suites/formatter/etc).
I'd love something like Laravel but for Golang+Svelte.
