#2I do not quite see the point of this (other than being an exercise).
We already have web server that do "logging, tracing, health check, graceful shutdown." I do not care about zero deps, because I only install them once and the deps are taken care of by the package manager.
In my opinion, the Go web server only makes sense as part of a Go application as a whole. But a standalone Go web server does not make much sense to me.

Hi chrisper, you are right! This is just a reminder for me on how to do those things when I start a new app in Go, instead of always google for them.

I think this is more of a statement on how batteries beibg included in this language make it easy to build such things without a fuss.

To do all of this in just over a hundred lines of code without having to import packages to do it is pretty incredible. It may be just an exercise but it is a very cool one.

If I would use any code as a dependency in a project I am working on, I like it when the dependency I'm adding doesn't come with strings attached (extra deps) as things can get really weird really fast (using awesome bootstrap + icheck for instance)

#10Isn't Caddy written in Go? How is this different?
I'm guessing this is a demonstration. Perhaps it's showing you all the things you can do with Go's in-process webserver library instead of an external webserver like Caddy?
