I might have written my last project in Python rather than Go. Go is a great language in its niche, but it's overkill for a run-of-the-mill web CRUD API on a low-traffic site. Flask or Django would have got the project done in half the time. The front end was in React, which was fun, but I was still climbing the learning curve and made a few mistakes I wouldn't have made today.
