That is a bit disingenuous. There is an SQL interface driver in the stdlib here[1]. There are several[2] implementations available which build apon it.

There are several[3] (scroll down to the relevant section) web frameworks too.

I personally tend to prefer using the gorilla toolkit[4], in combination with the stdlib http and templating stuff. It should be noted that my current usages for Go include an API service, command line tools, and a proxy. Certainly not much html generation going on there by any means.
