Always choose the right tool for the job? Nah. I use Go basically everywhere, which either makes me insightful or stupid. Decide for yourself! :D

Not sure how you can avoid javascript other than with htmx I guess

Doesn't WASM dodge a lot of it?

Not my first choice, but better Go than JavaScript or Python for that purpose.

I learned C++ in my first handful of programming classes. The only other languages I learned for other classes included javascript, PHP, and MySQL. I was assigned a project to be written in Java but never learned the details of the language.

At my current job, the system I work on mostly is all Go, and while I now know Go interfaces are not as novel as I did when I first learned they existed (because I had to learn Go), the mechanisms in Go for interfaces and goroutines just feel so cool to me that I can absolutely envision myself wanting to build anything well-suited for OOP in Go.

But that would require me to be passionate enough about programming to want to do it more than 40 hours per week lol

I agree with everything in the article, which makes it all the more unfortunate that I really detest Go as a language.

(It's getting better, though.)
