This article seems to be pushing Martini, which at first glance looks interesting (though it doesn't appear to have been mentioned on the mailing list even once, so there may be some boosting involved).

There is Revel, but it seems to be getting a bad rap ("non-idiomatic" label used as a stick).

Martini author here. Weird how it didn't show up in the golang-nuts search, here is a link to the announcement topic: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/LubMauy6...

Martini is still young (less than a week) but the core is pretty fleshed out.

No boosting here (I don't even have that many twitter followers). I just put together a framework that doesn't step on your toes and people ate it up :)

I love what I've seen so far. The biggest problem is probably the age. Googling for "go martini json" will not yield results until more users start to talk about it.

Yup. Getting there will take a while. In the meantime I plan on releasing a whole bunch of middleware in the martini-contrib repo and creating more video tutorials on web development in Go.

I mentioned Martini as I like its approach. It hit HN a few days ago and was on the go-nuts ML around the same time.

I don't expect everyone to agree with me surrounding Revel, but I certainly think it's lack of modularity is a negative.

I had searched for it to see what kind of feedback it was getting but came up empty:

The Revel comment was more about a criticism I've read several times now.

I liked and bookmarked the article. :)
