I’ve always been intrigued by Go. It’s powerful, fast (I really like fast), and simple. The tradeoff? It’s simple. Coming from higher level languages like PHP & JavaScript, Go can feel *crude*.

As I’ve recently written, this blog went [back to Hugo](https://sebastiandedeyne.com/back-to-hugo/). Hugo is also fast and crude. But with LLMs, the crudeness of things doesn’t hurt as much as before. I don’t need to deal with writing it anymore, and crude is still readable.

From [Just Fucking Use Go](https://blainsmith.com/articles/just-fucking-use-go/):

The boring choice is the right choice. It always was.

I agree. More than ever, I have an urge to dabble into lower level languages. AI is a huge layer of complexity we’re adding to our tooling. Let’s use it to trim the fat from our outputs.
