one mans trash anothers treasure. When I pointed out that Django is an annoying framework because it breaks up your ability to prototype flat by forcing you into some workflow structure I was told "that's a feature". Go is similar. It's annoying but some people like bumps in the road. Enjoy

It's annoying but some people like bumps in the road.

You apparently tried to build a prototype with a framework that very explicitly tries to provide more than just prototype capabilities. Invoking "one mans trash anothers treasure [big sic]" and then citing this is ridiculous; your failure to choose the right tool for your chosen task does not reflect poorly on the tool, nor does it suggest people who do use it correctly "like bumps in the road."

I guess I wasn't clear and just letting out a bit of steam. Still doing it but to be clearer... Go feels more like a framework than a language. could be by design, but didn't expect it. also you are right, "bumps the road" is not fare. Better would be to say, in referring to myself, i guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks ;)
