> The way it allows you to stack up Handlers is neat too.

Ditto. I especially like that it's fully compatible with the existing http.HandlerFunc interface, which is a big deal. This means you can just write "regular" handlers as middleware (or bring them over from existing code) without having to reinvent the wheel.

I also very much like the way it leaves sessions up to you. A few other Go frameworks leverage http.Cookie, instead of letting you use something like gorilla/sessions. I'm a big proponent of server-side sessions (wherever possible) given how simple gorilla/sessions + Redis can be to set up.

I'm a little tempted to use this myself (I've been going mostly naked so far) for my weekend (read: also weeknight) project, given that all the "real" logic (middleware, DB queries, etc.) can be dropped in alongside it.

Yup. Making the "dropping in" part easy is partly why Martini can be kept clean on the number of dependencies it pulls in. The only external dependency on Martini is https://github.com/codegangsta/inject which I maintain anyway :)
