  Your amazon credentials might be in the source code.

  I wish there were some examples- why is this better than "net/http" + Gorilla?

  Why the focus on postgres? They talk about using a postgres driver that conforms to "database/sql". But that should mean you could use a mysql "database/sql" compatible driver like the one provided by mymysql (https://github.com/ziutek/mymysql), with no code changes to your project...

  The documentation is a bit terse. Might be interesting.

  Apologies if this is off topic :

  I would love to hear what other "no-magic" frameworks people in the community enjoy developing in. Web.py comes to mind, for example - though I've never worked with it.

  I guess it's time to go for quality of Go web frameworks, not quantity. Authors, work together, please.

  There are many reasons why someone should choose Go, but "Hip, New, Unproven" aren't any of them. It isn't even unproven. Actually it has proven itself successful in production many times.

  Alternatives: http://robfig.github.com/revel/ (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4499151)

  Also, simply using net/http or Gorilla to piece things together.

  I'm quite happy with go-restful and AngularJS for the frontend and hood for a lightweight ORM (though I'm not completely sold on that. DAO is always awkward for me).
