Alternatives: http://robfig.github.com/revel/ (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4499151)

Also, simply using net/http or Gorilla to piece things together.

I'm quite happy with go-restful and AngularJS for the frontend and hood for a lightweight ORM (though I'm not completely sold on that. DAO is always awkward for me).

Ah, I figured out why I didn't quite like revel. Mainly "interceptors" as shown here: http://robfig.github.com/revel/samples/booking.html

It doesn't feel like idiomatic Go to me, which for me is a big deal. Perhaps if I start running into problems using only net/http I'll change my mind.

Will be sure to give revel another try in that case, but it looks like I'll like goooo's approach more.

I also feel revel not idiomatic Go. I'm checking out beego (https://github.com/astaxie/beego).

After it's latest re-api-design I think it looks quite nice and simple. Although some of it is a tiny (why bother) layer ontop of net/http.

I have been eyeing beego for a while, and will probably give it a try very soon. (well beego hasn't been out for long, but have kept it in my head of web frameworks to try since I've seen it :P)

I've been very happy with just using net/http, it Just Works and it means I haven't had to learn the Model-View nonsense.

Model-View nonsense? A model is a business object (ie: your data and the stuff it does) and your views are how you format your business objects for various kinds of output. That's the gist of it.

I'm on the same page regarding ORMs/DAOs. It's quick enough to throw some handcrafted SQL in the model or to write up a handful of stored procs.
