They honestly really haven’t though. I’d’ve thought they would’ve by now, but I still find bringing up a backend with something like Go to be annoyingly tedious and feature-incomplete in comparison.

Like yeah, I know you can do it. But it was much more effort to do things like writing robust migrations or frontend templates. I’d love to find something in Go or Typescript that made me feel quite as productive as Rails did.

Preach. I found the whole "just use stdlib" culture in Go so annoying. I love the language (both Go and Ruby actually), but Go's ecosystem and tooling is eons behind.

Maybe I am comparing apples and oranges, not sure.
