The Rise and Fall of the Go Web Framework
summary
Built a popular framework called Martini (reflection-based DI) that uses reflection for dependency injection, gains rapid adoption, then receives criticism for performance and cryptic failures and loses favor. Replaces framework-first design with composing small, idiomatic pieces: net/http Handler interface, Negroni + httprouter + render and about 22 middleware packages extracted from contrib. Argues a disciplined pursuit of less leads to simpler, faster, maintainable services; the extracted libraries prove this approach works in production.
