I'm really curious whether this will hold true in the future. I think the whole JS/React/JSX ecosystem really got a lot of people over to the programming side from "just" writing HTML and CSS, and I'm wondering whether this could happen for something like Go, too.

Now that the pendulum has swung in favor of rendering HTML server-side again and sprinkling Javascript on top, I sense a lot of interest in different ways of doing things than the default backend + JSON HTTP API + React/Vue frontend stack. And because Go is such a relatively simple language, maybe purely frontend/design-focused developers can pick it up and start writing HTML components with it?

(It helps that my preferred style of putting all HTML components inside a package called "html" inside the Go module/app could neatly containerize newcomers, to not scare them off with all the other stuff that is a Go app.)
