Rejecting React: Why Go and HTMX Offer a Simpler Path to Modern Web Apps

GoWeb demonstrates that modern web applications don't require React's complexity: HTMX's 14KB library replaces megabytes of JavaScript, Go Fiber delivers server-rendered HTML with near-instant load times, and keeping everything in Go (templates, validation, backend) eliminates context-switching and reduces security vulnerabilities. For teams tired of JavaScript ecosystem overhead, this represents a viable, pragmatic alternative.
