One project that can be considered "front-end" is Gohugo. Gohugo is a static website generator is pretty cool. However, GoHugo uses their Golang templating language, which is pretty weird(or different from other templating languages out there).

Golang can be used to create API's to build your front-end or even server-side rendering.

I am not sure if that answer your question or not.

That's exactly what I tried to do. Haha. I built my last talk's slide with Go Hugo. wordsesh2018.ahmadawais.com/

Honestly, it felt a bit hard to do as compared to using Gatsby which is written in JavaScript/React.

I can see why making a slide using GoHugo will be painful. GoHugo seems to be targeting more plug and play website tool with possibly a lot of content creation. Compare Gatsby, which more like a framework build static website generators.
