I had the same problem - really liked the way I used to do component composition in React, it was hard to go back.

Eventually found a way to do something similar using just the standard Go html/template.

I’ve written about the implementation here:

This a great write-up and similar to an approach that I stumbled upon a few years ago. Have you thought about HTMXing this approach to get away from full page renders?

Thanks! I wanted to use standard Go html/template to see just how bad the re-renders are, and then decide to use htmx. After building the project, I don’t mind the re-renders much as the latency is around 50ms and I don’t see any jank. I might introduce htmx in future
