I'm still fairly new to Go, but I've been iterating on the idea of approaching HTML as basic string generation and ditching all of the other complexity. I have a single function that generates HTML tags from name, content and property arguments. Everything else just builds on it. [1]

I'm really curious to do some benchmarking and see how this compares to template-based HTML generation. It seems theoretically possible to accumulate raw data first and then build the document from top to bottom (instead of piecing together a lot of intermediate strings), but I'm not sure the complexity would justify the performance gains.

I also just learned about `gocomponents` [2] in another thread here, which seems to be a similar idea with a substantial headstart. I could probably just switch to it, but I kind of like the idea of following a pattern instead of installing a dependency.
