>I would have just used python or node

I've always stayed away from node because the ecosystem looks like such a shitshow from the outside, but the speed of V8 appeals to me.

Python is great for quick stuff that doesn't need to be performant. I use magic-wormhole and pgAdmin4 probably every day and they're great, but I shy away from Python for anything that needs threading.

One thing I will say in go's defense is that I found goroutines to be a fairly pleasant and straightforward experience (at least as far as multithreading can be straightforward and pleasant)
