That was my thought as well. As someone who has written several web frontends in Go, I want to know what this tool [1] does differently.

what's the distinction between framework and library?

Your code calls a library.

A framework calls your code.

This often makes frameworks incompatible, whereas libraries can be used in conjunction.

what a concise and excellent explanation (seriously); thanks

The best one I've heard is something like:

A framework is something that you use by sprinkling around your code in it.

A library is something you sprinkle around in your code.
