#2net/http. Go has great web support in the standard library.^1
Kidding aside, I didn't think that full-fledged web frameworks (akin to Ruby-on-Rails, Flask, Spring, etc) were really a thing with Go - or at least not a super popular thing. And you should be able to pretty easily recreate the functionality of a Tomcat-like web server using the http/net library.^2

#6For simple, battle-tested web server, you can't go wrong with net/http.
A couple of us are working on Bud (http://github.com/livebud/bud), which aims to be a full-stack web framework for Go, similar to Laravel or Rails.
The project is getting better very quickly! If you're working on a greenfield project and want more out of the box, I'd encourage you to give Bud a try!

#8I use the standard library. My entire business runs on it, html/css all through the standard library (templates package).
I use embed to embed all assets in the binary itself. "go build" and then "scp" the binary to the production server and "systemctl restart appserver"

How do you like the template package ? Can you compare it to Jinja/Twig ?

I have never used Jinja/Twig, but I have used handlebars, ERB, JSX and other similar templating systems.
Overall, I find Go's template system to be a bit clunky but it certainly gets the job done. The template system is fairly minimal so it feels mostly like working with HTML, but it gives you a few tools to use.. mainly passing data down the template/sub-templates and the ability to define template functions/helpers. Minimal... but it's all you really need.
I converted my business from Rails 5 to Go about a year ago and the ERB was fairly straight forward to convert to Go's template system.. it felt like I was mostly converting to {{ .. }} and changing to {{ template ... }}
