Angular kinda does this; typescript+eslint+testing+framework are set up out of the box. I think sveltekit as well.
Different tool but: https://asdf-vm.com/ Works like this

What tooling were you missing working with asdf and java?

Crosscode was amazing and is a pure JS/canvas game. I dunno I've fiddled a bit with some engines, but the tooling/docs are pretty lackluster compared to unity/godot

Default angular builds are large compared to other frameworks even when you consider all the extra stuff that gets bundled with angular.

5MB is large for a single bundle, I'd say if you are using lazy loaded modules 2MB for a single module is large.

Front-end performance varies in importance based on your context. In e-commerce performance is tied to conversion so it's very important. If you're a government contractor building CRUD apps, it's not as important.

"This was nice, but I lost the flexibility I would have wanted to customize the pages a bit - GitHub let's you pick a theme and that's that."

You can actually make your own themes with github pages

Re:10 years since the Utoya massacre in Norway on Thursday July 22, 2021 @10:51AM (#27919574)
I don't understand why they mention the terrorist so much in this in memorial, also photos of him in combat gear. The majority of comments here are about him and his deeds; this is exactly the kind of thing these people want, to be remembered. Discussion about motives, political background are warranted but these people really should not be remembered by name or face.

Wouldn't agree on the GO statement, yes GO is great in terms of performance but it still lacks some important language features AFAIK no generics, no proper exception handling. I honestly don't know how the GO ecosystem is, but I can't imagine it's as mature as java. Perhaps I'm wrong tho
