I was just looking at Revel too. But from the homepage:
Development Status: Early adopters only. Pull requests welcome.
Development is closing in on the "final" 1.0 design, but the rate of change is still high. Expect to get your hands dirty.
Wouldn't quite appeal for people looking for a Go based Rails yet, but I would have to agree.. it does look very promising.
Revel is pretty great so far (I actually just made my first contribution yesterday!). Some important things it needs though: support for HTTPS, better DB support (some type of ORM, although gorp is sufficient for now), HTTP auth, and better template engine (currently uses the built-in Go "template" package which is meh). Those are the major things that come to my mind.
I disagree with ORM, at least as a "need". Why go to the trouble of migrating to a much higher performance platform to just give most of that performance back?
That's actually very true. I pulled that one off of the GitHub page though. I believe its something robfig wants (at least optionally) for when it's deemed production-ready.
