I don't think that is fair; I did say "so much depends on what exactly you need."

Maybe you don't need to whole kitchen sink. Also its not as though there are not other Go libraries to get other functionality from such as DB/ORM functionality.

What's a good Golang ORM that you could use in a production app?

If people want something like Rails in Golang, it probably makes more sense to point them at Revel. Gorilla is more like Sinatra, for better or for worse.

Yeah, I don't think Gorilla or Revel are quite mature or stable enough at this point to consider as a Rails replacement. And I'm speaking as a (extremely minor) Revel contributor - it's still very young, early adopters only!

Web years are a little bit like dog years. I feel like Revel will grow up fast.

For the record, I have written some Go, but not worked on Revel specifically.
