I've used Martini a bit and also tried some of the other frameworks (beego and revel) and I really don't see what makes people call Martini especially non-Gooey in comparison.

The reality is, when your language is as weak as Go (in terms of advanced features), a framework with any sort of significant features will be quite dynamic and "magic".

Sounds great. In a broader context, I don't know why people pick on Go (aside from it being an 'evil Google creation') -- especially when many of Go's critics are _also_ people who claim to support simplicity and consistency in programming languages. I have a good feeling Go will become dominant in the no-so-distant future, so rather than knock it, why not help grow it / make it better?

For me, stdlib + some mux library is still the way to go until someday I see the shortcomings.

But this is a very classy and admirable way to answer all the critics. He didn't take them offensively at all. Instead he puts more thoughts on the design objectively and sincerely, and come up with what might be a better architecture in the end.

Hats off to codegangsta and good luck on Negroni.

Except that's obviously not the case, considering he just announced Negroni, an idiomatic ("non-magical") library that provides the key feature of Martini.
