> I cannot imagine building beyond >1000 LoC in interpreted, dynamically typed languages Many have imagined and built valuable stuff in interpreted, dynamically typed languages before you, by being more focused on overall structure and making sure it's strict and resilient. One really doesn't have to search far for successful applications that are certainly way beyond 1000 LoC and still iterate pretty quickly for the…

That is a double edged sword. Sure, that dynamically typed language of python or ruby might be quick to develop on but they often contain a lot of surprising bugs. Compilers catch a lot of bugs before your software is in production.

For local development that debian container is fine but for production you want something small like scratch or alpine. The fewer binaries in the container, the better and more secure. This is one of the benefits of golang. You compile it into a binary and copy just the binary into your scratch container. Maybe it is 20MB in size.

There's no difference between a 1000MB or 10MB image, aside from how much time it takes to download new versions and how much disk space it uses.

What's the Django/Rails equivalent in Go? The value from Python isn't Python itself (though it might be easier to write in - trading off reliability for ease of use compared to a compiled language) but the ecosystem. Fully-featured frameworks such as Django, Rails, etc give you lots of functionality out of the box which is very valuable especially at the early stages of the project where performance isn't a concern y…

Honestly, frameworks like Rails or Django are an anti-pattern for Golang. The standard library makes it very easy to build web services and there’s a couple or popular packages for making routes and dealing with HTTP requests/responses simple. There’s projects like Micro that try to do a little more batteries included but I wouldn’t consider them to be pervasive in the way Django or Rails are. Beyond that, it’s just…

What's the cost of something like this? IMO this looks a bit too complex and time consuming to manage. Why not something like Heroku?
