I’ve written a full stack web app with payment integration multi tenancy etc. in plain go. I learned a lot on that journey and what I learned made me value full stack frameworks like rails again. If you want to build something competitive you will need to write lots of things in plain go that you wouldn’t need to bother with when using rails or something similar with sane conventions.

+1 on that. I recently had to write a small web app that has to do some data processing and interact with database on request. We chose go for this because it was faster than php for this one particular data intensive task. I liked working with go, but frameworks like rails, laravel or django have a huge advantage in terms of developer productivity when compared to go.

Out of curiosity, is your app shared on github?
