I have been learning the Go programming language lately, and it’s remarkably easy to build simple web apps with it. In particular, with just a few simple tricks, you can make the deployment of such web apps super simple: just one single standalone statically linked binary which stores its data in one single file. The Go standard library contains everything needed to build a basic web app: A production-ready HTTP server An URL router Interface for SQL databases Parsing command line options Simple logging HTML templating HTTP client If you use the embed feature, you can embed templates and static resources (CSS, JavaScript, images) and produce one single self-contained binary.
