For someone who doesn't know Laravel it's worth explaining it a bit further.

Google is a thing

Interesting take. So you recommend to not give detailed info on a pruduct website and require people to Google?

It's not about me not willing to use Google but about not having me to. I expect to find all relevant information on the website in an easy to find manner.

You'll just end up writing the same old patterns in the new language as you did in the old one.

Especially with Go, it's really easier to adopt the existing tooling (most of which is in the standard lib) than to port whatever concepts Laravel/PHP had.

Not sure there's a Go equivalent of Laravel, so not sure which tooling you suggest people adopt. If I want an all inclusive MVC (or similar) web development framework with all batteries included - why not build a Go Laravel?

Python has Django

Java has Spring (among others)

C# has asp.net

Ruby has Rails

PHP has Laravel

What does Go have?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Theoretically, it's probably better to get information about Laravel from their respective website. I would expect as this is a framework made for Laravel users, you're not really in their target audience anyway.

It would be helpful to explain a little bit about why they like Laravel though, to entice you to read more by yourself.

We now have GO's equivalent of Rails and Go's equivalent of Laravel. Apparently Go's way is "start with the standard lib and glue whatever you need on top".
