Really? What do you feel that it's missing? I write Go for a living but I have also used Laravel (and vanilla php back in the day),and both actix + axum and I think Go really does hit that sweet spot of abstraction level for backends/web services.

I will say that I do prefer Gorm only to be used to scan the table -> model, I'd still rather write the sql by hand but I also don't want to scan the rows every time. But other than that I really cannot think of what it's missing.
