I was looking for lightweight web frameworks/toolkits in Go the other day, and as a newcomer I didn't really know where to start. From cursory Googling, Gorilla seemed like a nice web toolkit and gorp a good 'O'RM.

Does anyone have experience with Gorilla or gorp? Any other recommendations?

Hey there. gorp author here. Happy to answer any questions about the package. MySQL support is the most well tested -- I added Postgresql and SQLite recently. Cheers.

Thanks for the information! I'll play with gorp when I find some time...

It's interesting to see someone build a web service in Go. I've done a few fairly trivial projects in it to see how it works and really liked it, but web stuff doesn't seem it's natural domain.

Has anyone used it with a nice HTML templating system?

Go has a pretty mature http library. Since it is also aimed at the appengine I say the web is its natural domain.

A good templating system is the go mustache port: mustache.go

The http implementation is great but it doesn't really have a useful system for letting web designers work on designs and coders code for example.

The mustache port looks like a big step towards that, thanks.

I did ask for a nice template system :-)

The included one is functional, but hardly the friendliest

It looks like the GitHub repo is broken... https://github.com/begoon/usvisa-api/ Maybe it's just not published, yet?
