Ask HN: Best example codebases written in Go

Saw this question asked in 2017, asking again for 2019. What codebases do you think are the best examples of go?

I'm not a Go expert so hard to judge, but:

github.com/rclone/rclone - Somewhat complex with abstractions, plugins, filesystems, networking, multi-platform support etc

Go is self-hosting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hosting_(compilers)) and not that old, so the source of the go compiler and its tools (https://go.googlesource.com/go) should be good examples (possibly not of all language features)

Yeah, poor choice of words. Really just looking for codebases that are idiomatic, well written, and fun to read. Inspiration
