I love the language, but let's not get too carried away until the ecosystem grows. The reality is, if you're going to use Go for web dev, you're going to need to be prepared to do a whole lot of things on your own.
Must not be looking on github... Yes its new, but in a majority of cases I have not had any trouble finding third party libraries and the std ones are wide and excellent.
But at the moment unfortunately I don't think it's very mature. Support for interacting with the DB, arguably the most important part of a web application, is pretty lacking IMO for something that otherwise wants to be an end-to-end solution.
In one of the examples I noticed that all kinds of interaction with the DB was being done in the Controller, not the Model. Which just seems wrong to me (at first I thought it was a "Play" framework thing, since Revel is modeled on that, but Play uses Hibernate for an ORM in its models). Also, you'll have to roll your own support for interacting with the DB using, say, gorp: https://github.com/coopernurse/gorp
That being said, robfig seems like a really cool dude, and he was responsive on github when I needed some help. The documentation is pretty great too.
The OP, to which I was replying, said: "see the gorilla test which is a Go framework."
I asked about the Gorilla benchmark itself, since OP seemed to say that adding something like Gorilla would slow down the Go benchmarks, which I don't agree with.
But I also didn't realize that that person was saying that there was a gorilla test, so now I'm mostly confused.
How so? There's Clojure, Scala and others perfectly good choices on the list. The max latency for Go is also very high compared to most others.
Avoiding preoptimization applies just as much to frameworks.
Javascript is also expressive, flexible, super performant and has the best and fastest-growing community around.
