For simple, battle-tested web server, you can't go wrong with net/http.

A couple of us are working on Bud (http://github.com/livebud/bud), which aims to be a full-stack web framework for Go, similar to Laravel or Rails.

The project is getting better very quickly! If you're working on a greenfield project and want more out of the box, I'd encourage you to give Bud a try!

Just stared it! I use Go at work and it’s a joy but I’m currently Lea Laravel because it makes getting something out so easy! I’m was blown away yesterday when I learned how to handle file uploads in laravel, and Breeze allows me to have out of the box user auth in about 5 mins?

I’ve built all of that in Go and it was probably two months of work…

This is not to discourage you, it would be absolutely terrific to have a proper full-stack framework in Go! And just as an aside from what I see in laravel, if making part of the framework commercial is a way to give the project a boost I think it’d be worth it!

Tailwind also comes to mind following the same model. Full open source but if you want a working starter template, payments, teams, subscriptions, etc… I’d pay for that!

looks cool!
