The difference in complexity between my go and my Python docker image is actually hilarious. 100s of files and package managers and npm and whatever else.. vs 1 file.
Where does NPM play in to the build?
Npm always finds its way in, usually for building web artifacts.
Beats me but somehow we do!
Every day I drop 1k lines of Python code and replace with go. Will be fully go soon!
I really enjoy single-executable Rust things - that's what I use for building web apps (SSR). But it's not that widespread (for now ?).
