I think that maybe you shouldn't want that. Go is a simple language with a very extensive standard library. It's quite easy to do most things you would want by just writing some code, leveraging the standard library, and maybe including a handful of external libraries. Frameworks are not needed and will eventually just get in the way.

OK, I want a similar thing to ActiveRecord - with all the features, is that quite simple to build?

Now you'll tell me I probably don't want an ORM at all. But lets say I do, lets say many people find value in these things.

First of all, you shouldn't be using Go, because it's not the language where you do those kinds of things.

I personally believe ActiveRecord is a gigantic anti-pattern and should be avoided at all costs (by anyone, ever). And I also happen to have had very bad experiences with ORM and feel like most of the time they are not needed at all. So yes. But even if you want an ORM, there's a few popular ORM libraries. You can just include one and start using it, no need to use a framework for that (for ActiveRecord I wouldn't know).
