i've been spending some time trying to learn how to write a basic CRUD website in Go in a way that feels good to me
but on my third attempt I started thinking "this just feels bad", rewrote it using https://hono.dev/, and even though I've never written JS on the server before suddenly everything feels a lot better? the code is really simple, there are very few dependencies, and there isn't all of the boilerplate you have to write with Go
