Wow is this like Go version of SvelteKit? Except without SSR so it serves only static files? I just thought about the same thing recently and I'm glad somebody made it! IMO Go is better fit for server backend than Node.js, especially with I/O.

Yeah, I'm glad these projects are emerging. I love svelte but I am not entirely convinced about how they push you towards sveltekit, especially in the docs. (I know there are adapters that allow you to use another backend but everything in the docs and examples push you towards NodeJS and sveltekit). It is as if react docs were written in a way that pushes you towards NextJS (they're from different companies so this is not the case, but I still think it is a good analogy). I just don't want a NodeJS backend, all our team wants is to use a Golang backend which saves us ton of resources, which means less instances required, which means less $$$ (and Golang is awesome - performant, easy to read and write, easy to code concurrency, type safe without the hassle, built-in test suites/formatter/etc). I'd love something like Laravel but for Golang+Svelte.

  You're exactly who I'm building Bud for! I fit squarely in your camp :) Please hit me up when you give Bud a try over email hi@livebud.com or on twitter @mattmueller. I'd love to hear what you think!

Yes, exactly. Even the creator of Node says so: "I think Node is not the best system to build a massive server web. I would use Go for that. And honestly, that’s the reason why I left Node. It was the realization that: oh, actually, this is not the best server-side system ever." Heavy computation still ties up the event loop in Node.js. We're just not talking about it as much because most people deploy to serverless functions nowadays which can spin up compute upon request. I love serverless and use it with https://standupjack.com https://standupjack.com, but it comes with it's own tradeoffs!
