ON ERROR RESUME NEXT !

That's what I do too. At the end of the day, all I want is for my patch to be included so I don't have the problem anymore. I code for a living and I don't have to sell myself to recruiters in my field. But I fully understand why one would want to be credited, and that's just fair.

> I guess with newer apis such as the File System one Electron is slowly becoming unnecessary

Last time I tried, it was still a pain point. For one, the API felt... alien. Also, the performance was not good. I'm not sure why, maybe it's my Javascript-FU that's bad, but all in all I'd still use another language for this if possible.

Stuck for a while in python 2.x world with its "always backward compatible" pledge... then it lost attention I guess. Also, questionable technical choices. Now py 3.5+ compatible, but no compelling reason to use it.

Bottle was decent before Flask. Couldn't we use that instead ?

> my favorite after htmx

That's interesting. I discovered Unpoly after HTMX (which I like) and decided to stay with Unpoly for a few reasons. Do you think hypermedia libraries will converge or do you think there is space for different interpretations ?

> we're in an season of backend development that favors separation (vs bundling) of concerns

I work in a small team (5 developers), on multiple projects that span from 3 months to 1 year of work. While I like some of Go qualities (like speed, types, low memory, easy deployment,...) it would be hard for me to introduce Go to the team. The thing is that with Django (or Laravel, or Rails, or any "opiniated" framework) I can point the team to a nice single documentation website and associated framework that covers probably 90 to 95% of our needs and gets us right into the business logic real fast. There's real value in framework integration for teams like us (and for this very reason, we don't use Flask either, way to much fiddling). Also, the feature set in these solutions, while maybe "out of season", is fine for most of our projects.

At this point, should I want to push Go to the team, I would have integrate libraries myself and document... so basically starting my own version of a "framework". Like you said, it's a sprawling project. But hey... isn't it how Django started ? Maybe one day...

Meanwhile, I'll stick to using Go in my personal projects, until I have a very clear picture of the ecosystem.

There are plenty of Flask equivalent in Go IMO. Django... not so much.

Funny how some people have this mindset only about jquery and not unecessary fonts, icons, image backgrounds, etc.

I never undertood the fuss with bandwidth and jquery either... it's only 30k once behind mod_deflate. To put it in perspective, vue.global.js is 463k or 104k once gzipped.

There are many reason not to use Jquery for greenfield projects now, but bandwith is not one of them.

There’s plenty of literature (and debate !) about mvc/mvt (and its numerous variants and interpretations) in the context of web apps. It’s interesting that you challenge the consensus though.

Also Gunicorn…
