I'm surprised the tooling isn't mentioned more...
create-react-app is awesome and huge time saver but as soon as you have to step outside of that realm there are so many dependencies and other tools to get the sausage made that it's daunting for new-comers.
It's not at all fair to compare JS and Go BUT that is the one part of Go I really, really love- `go fmt` is built in and most of the tooling Just Works™ with minimal config (e.g. gometalinter). I find myself stuck when figuring out where the next piece of the JS puzzle should go in my local dev at times and how to make some other things production ready. But we're in a much better place now than we have been!
