Determine Generate default config

[jtrrll]

init is designed to be extensible, but should also supply a default configuration to immediately get new projects off the ground. We should determine a set of packages that all Generate dev shells should include by interviewing past tech leads, software chiefs, and developers to determine which tools are essential. We will likely need to identify a backend language, a frontend runtime, containerization, commit tools, etc. This is also an opportunity for us to prescribe specific solutions over alternatives (such as Bun vs. Node, or Bash vs. Zsh)

Comment on this issue with the results of your research. These packages will be installed in the proof-of-concept build of init.

The backend language survey heavily favored Go for most use cases, so we will move forward with prescribing it as the default choice.

There was some support in the survey for Python and TypeScript as well. TS will be included regardless to support frontend development, and we should consider prescribing Python as our default scripting language, as our community is more familiar with Python than Bash/Ruby/alternatives.

Rather than survey for a preferred task runner, I am selecting just/justfile, primarily due to its support for writing tasks in any scripting language. It also features syntax similar to make/makefile, so it should be easy for new devs to pick up

A survey on local pre-commit hooks revealed that few Generate members are currently using them. While many respondents recognized the value of quickly running linters/formatters and keeping their commits clean, many believed that these checks act as roadblocks that slow down development. A potential solution may be to run these hooks on pre-push, so that the remote branch is always well-formatted, but developers are free to commit WIP or incomplete work locally.

Very few responses to the survey on preferred databases. Let's default to PostgreSQL for now, as it is by far the most commonly used in Generate projects.
