I had the same confusion reading this – what kind of go-based webservice framework can you discretely deploy new handlers without restarts/redeploys? Would be a really awesome thing to have!
TBH it sounds like it would be extremely against the whole "simplicity, even at high costs" philosophy the Golang people strive for. Deploying new handlers into a running web service seems much more like something the Erlang people would be interested in.
(and lo, the BEAM does indeed allow hot code reloads. I don't think this is commonly used in BEAM-based Erlang/Elixir web services though. Certainly the Gleam people don't seem to like hot reloads very much...)
