Looks like it, however, wouldn't that decrease the speed of development for new people that come onboard?

If that was the case, wouldn’t people who love Go have created one after more than a decade in existence?

The reason why Go developers don’t like “frameworks” a-là Ruby on Rails in the Ruby ecosystem is because the Go community generally prefers libraries over frameworks because Go’s simplicity and flexibility allow developers to compose their solutions using small, composable packages rather than being constrained by a rigid framework.

This approach often results in more efficient and maintainable code. The Go philosophy emphasizes minimalism and encourages developers to avoid unnecessary abstractions.
