#2Does it use a trie? If not, it probably should. Here's a wonderful talk on using that datastructure (with go) for the gov uk url router:

The Vulcan proxy from Mailgun does the same thing:

It looks like it doesn't, so existing open source golang url routers will perform much better, contrary to this post. The one in vuland is interesting in that it supports both regex AND tries, so you get the best of both.
Additionally, httprouter (golang) uses a trie and is fast as hell:

These links are pretty cool. Are there any tutorials or walkthroughs you would recommend? Like, Go has always interested me but I have no idea where to start to get an experience like say ExpressJS or even where to find templating or rendering.
Any suggestions are appreciated!

httprouter is really awesome. I switched to it when Go's built-in router would cause panics during msan stress testing (back in Go 1.6), and really performs well.

#5I don't usually say this but - isn't this a poor choice of name? Gorilla framework's Mux [0] has been around awhile and is quite popular for routing in Go.

That's why we have namespaces. There's gorilla/mux and now there's donutloop/mux.

I typically read the HN comments before clicking on a link, and I actually thought this _was_ a post about gorilla/mux until I got to your comment.

This. It's actually more idiomatic to use the same name, then you can often just sub out one library for another without any hassle.

#9From the README: "mux is a lightweight fast HTTP request router [...] It also scales better."
Where can I find the benchmarks?
