I’m a big fan of Django and Go as well but the only thing in the Go ecosystem that I’ve found that comes close is beego: https://github.com/beego/beego

But it still needs to mature quite a bit before I’d be comfortable saying it’s anywhere near Django or Rails

I found Pagoda required me to juggle too many things that were only loosely coupled together.

GoBuffalo was great but as soon as I started using, it got archived :’)

Now I default to beego. It isn’t as batteries included as a rails or django app, but there’s enough there that I don’t have to write as much boilerplate as with only the stdlib.

The best thing I’ve found is beego: https://github.com/beego/beego

Not affiliated in any way, but to me it’s better than most of the alternatives

This is the most thorough resource I’ve found: https://www.scratchapixel.com/

Though admittedly it is a bit chaotically organized.

That one combined with the ray tracing in 1 weekend series is a good start.

agreed. It's interesting that Go has a lot of the ground work set up (built-in prod server, etc.) but no framework has really taken off. And the dev productivity when compared to something like Django is painfully slow...
