The frontend is always going to be a pain since you have to deal with JS in some form, and a culture of ever increasing complexity until people give up and rewrite everything and throw away years of work.

When you have Go, I don't see how switching to JS/TS comes with any benefit on the backend.

At some point I would have liked to meet people who struggle using Go on the backend and learn what their process is and how they structure things. I've written quite a few backend systems in Go for a variety of domains (anything from PKI systems to industrial automation and various real-time streaming systems). Surely people who struggle must either do something that is very different from what I do, or be sensitive to entirely different issues than I am.
