Why I Built GAX in Go, Not JavaScript
Tired of 800MB node_modules for a blog? I built a Go-powered SSG that builds in 12ms.

JavaScript SSG is a joke. You need npm, vite, astro, 1200 dependencies just to render markdown to HTML.
GAX is different. One binary, no dependency.
go build -o gax./cmd/gax
./gax build
That's it. content/ -> dist/ in 12ms for 500 pages. Written in Go because Go doesn't lie. It compiles, it runs, it dies fast like Itachi.
No more npm install waiting 5 minutes.
