This leads to go web frameworks being sort of semi-hard mountainous turds of code generation. You’ll want to stick to stdlib after sifting through them and deciding they aren’t worth it.

The rest though I do not miss at all. Middleware patching attributes directly into the request object? Python's sad excuse for incremental typing? Ignoring the database bits of Django I struggle to find anything that I don't enjoy doing more in Go. I was a HUGE fan of Django REST Framework and assorted boilerplate for a long time, but I am so extremely glad to be off that ride. Yeah, it lets you do really cool, complex things succinctly and cleverly. The problem is that it lets you do really cool, complex things succinctly and cleverly. The cleverness becomes the enemy. I now have learned to appreciate code that is utterly stupid, obvious, nearly braindead. Every codepath is screaming at you. That is Go in a nutshell. if err != nil { ... } ad nauseam. Sounds terrible... but it kind of isn't.
There are some things I would not use Go for. Game development is one of those things. Web servers, though? If you are going to be doing serious work in production environments, Go is absolutely among the best choices.
I am still, however, looking forward to trying Rust more and more. My initial impressions with Rocket.rs have been lukewarm. (One thing that is bothersome but not quite a deal breaker is compile times. A lot of crates make the experience bad almost immediately.)
