Thanks for sharing! I'm quite surprised I didn't come across this project in my research.
> I assume you're trying to address the need of those who want a Go back-end but with modern JS front-end?
Yes, that's a big reason. Half of it's preference, the other part is that most of the JS frameworks don't provide a cohesive solution for sending emails, queues, scheduling tasks, etc. The backend is a larger part of your web app than most JS frameworks give it credit for.
Their stance is to outsource the backend to third-party services, but then you're stuck piecing all these SaaS's together. I like the approach Laravel takes here: provide interfaces for Mailers, Queues, Scheduled Tasks, File Storage, etc. then provide implementations for SQS, S3, Mailgun, etc.
