Go(Lang) backend + plain html, jquery and gulp on the frontend. After doing Rails for a while, I was tired of the slowness and layers upon layers of abstraction. Go is simple in comparison - the language philosophy helps you keep everything close to where it's executing. No assumptions. I've borrowed some lessons from Rails in structuring my code (models are separate, api for controller logic, views are static pages that interact with the Api through JSON). The performance of my sites is so incredibly delightfully fast now, that I would never go back. Almost all of my server calls return back in microseconds. I'm rewriting all of my sites in Go now.

Working with a database in Go has been painful for me. Have you found this is the case in your projects?
