GSX seems interesting but I don’t understand why it depends on the node ecosystem. I just want to use Go for everything.

because Vite is great. It only uses it in dev. In prod, no node involved. Try the gsx init. You'll know why. The dev experience you'll want.

EDIT: highlights are:

- live reload: it only reloads after new binary is built. also has /healthz check integration. I believe this is better than air, wgo etc

- dev panel & error overlay: see generate, build status: on syntax error, you get an error overlay explaining where the error is;

- status for slow builds: if you're working in a big project, you can see the building progress & log in the dev overlay
