I am constantly conflicted between phoenix/elixir and just going from scratch with go.

I love go. I love writing it. But, darn it, elixir and phoenix are productive and fun.

ive been prototyping with htmx recently, but its more of an unframework and it already has me re-thinking the architecture of everything with a front-end

openresty and htmx has been calling me name, but I haven’t had time to try.

Hadn't heard of this, but interesting... I have been playing with alternatives to express, seems to be trendy to scale vertically again and express is just too slow... not sure I could give up the simplicity of Caddy though

so, it’s like a set of packages for every frontend and backend framework?

it allows you to build in any of the popular frameworks.

I prefer JS/nextjs. JS is the most popular expressive programming language so you tend to get shit done faster with it. Nextjs is pretty awesome, but I'm worried they are getting too big and bureaucratic and will stop delivering cutting edge stuff before too long. I also wish it could get ported to Deno as I prefer their tooling/vm.

ime golang gets dreary to write for anything but a microservice, but maybe that's changed with the introduction of generics, better error patterns, and AI autocomplete.

Deno is great with its tooling. I’ve heard you can run Nextjs with Deno 2.0.
