I do a little hobby work in Go. I looked at micro several times. For some reason I felt it is bit too heavy or unnecessary complexity. It does not feel fit in go ecosystem. But may be a lot of people are liking it. I could be wrong because I have not done much real work in Go. Does anyone use it for production apps?

I think the Go community in its early years advocated for libraries over frameworks. 1. Because of the very powerful standard library which dictated the development model and culture of the community. 2. Because Go was still such a young project. I think its only natural over time that frameworks and tools emerge to simplify the development experience in every language. We realistically cannot ask people to piece tog…

The “powerful standard library” to my experience is a myth that holds no water. Even trivial projects use external packages to handle trivial things like an HTTP server or logging.

No project I saw, however small, uses just the standard library.

Yes. Many open source application fairly complex & large are written in Golang: kubernetes, terraform, istio, etc. All these run in countless production systems.

Sorry I intend to say, does anyone use micro in production?

Not dissing your efforts, but you keep posting your Go Micro stuff, under different account names (chunk) in Show HN and normal threads. 90% of these posts add nothing and are just duplicates. Maybe add a blog post or something of value instead of the same old link every time.

Thanks for your comment. I post a link to the github repo periodically because the project is moving incredibly fast and actively evolving to become something that's fundamentally valuable to those building distributed systems, cloud services and want to build applications with Go using a framework. People also come and go on HN so don't always get a chance to see it or dont' remember the project. I'm also always act…

Don't apologize for selling yourself. If they're complaining, its working.

I am wondering if a similar framework exists for Node.js or Deno? I am really interested in Go but I have a lot of learning to do before I am confident to write solutions with it.

I believe Molecular is a node.js project with similar ideals https://moleculer.services/ and also Seneca https://senecajs.org/

Thank you :)

If you can only confront someone using a throwaway account, you’re probably being unnecessarily mean. Glad they’re trying to get word out there on what they’re working on. Let the voting do the voting. Thank for your OS work OP, upvote from me. Looks like a cool project!

genuinely curious to know why you created a throwaway account solely to post this?

That is very common practice on HN. Submitting a link here is a lottery that one rarely wins.
