Writing web servers in Go is extremely easy. https://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/

Cross-compiling with Go is done by setting two environment variables. That's it. This is not like the mess of C++ cross-compiling. In LiteIDE it is simply a matter of choosing Linux from a drop-down: https://www.wut.de/pics/screenshot/e-505ww-07-pide-000.png

SFTP is not exactly hard. Nor is `nohup ./server &`.

From 5 on I agree though - is that 4 build systems? Insanity. I would just make a static web page with normal HTML forms or whatever and Go templates. If you really need client-side Javascript, I'd just use jQuery, or something similar and lightweight like minifiedjs.

yeah, I use straight HTML wherever possible. But for some things it isn't possible, or suitable. I'd love a simpler client-side environment. Any suggestions welcome... I'm looking at Vue.js now, recommended from comments here.

I've enjoyed using Elm for client side development.
