Is there currently a good web framework for Go?

Edit: web.go looks pretty sweet: http://www.getwebgo.com/

Edit2: As does app.go: https://github.com/georgenava/appgo

...There's a large list of Go projects here: http://godashboard.appspot.com/project

I like go. As a guy who really doesn't like javascript I like the structure of GO. I like really structured languages. For anyone who like the mobile/desktop type of programming this seems like a refreshing change.

The OP easily dismissed numpy in Python and coroutines (e.g gevent)

I'd love to have Python library availability in a staticly typed language.

Er, JavaScript is a structured language (meaning it doesn't mandate labels and goto for control flow).

A lot of great and capable languages are overlooked.

The question is how do they overcome the opinion, hearsay and preferences that are louder than the truth?

Too few devs:

- truly give something 5 minutes before jumping to their foregone conclusion.

- admit that most languages with a decent capable and decent programmer are all, pretty equally equipped.

- every language + framework has it's pros and cons.

Many statically typed languages have excellent library support. At this point Java, for example, has all of the libraries that Python has, and more.

unlike other languages, a framework isn't as much of a requirement in Go since the Go standard library includes an http server, json serialization/deserialization, html templating, email, logging, basically everything you need in a web app. The url routing is pretty crappy, but that's my only real gripe. ngmoco's Falcore is worth looking at: https://github.com/ngmoco/falcore
