Do you use web frameworks in Go?
As per this blog post, http://bit.ly/1oxZLMD, do you usually use a web framework in Go? Or do you rather use packages?
But, quite frankly:
- I like that gin does some of the work for me.
- I like that I have to write a bit less code, while basically keeping all of the semantic
- I like that I can access the Request and ResponseWriter structs via the gin.Context struct.
I dislike (or opinions I share):
- Well yes, sometime things break and you have to a bit more time on the problem
- Sometimes new features come out and you will have to wait for or framework developers, or even patch it yourself (all things that actually keep you from writing your code)
- Sometimes development of the framework take a path you just don't like.
- Sometime you find that things could just be done better, but developers disagree and you can't fix this problem without forking and ending up with ANOTHER micro-framework.
In the end, I am still okay with going with the gin framework.
I feel no special love for gin, but it is okay.
What I would really, really love is something like Grails (in terms of development speed), but in Go.
