The progress on computer use / OS world is nuts.

14.9% a year and a half ago and now 72.5%

I’m a big fan of Django and Go as well but the only thing in the Go ecosystem that I’ve found that comes close is beego: https://github.com/beego/beego

But it still needs to mature quite a bit before I’d be comfortable saying it’s anywhere near Django or Rails

I found Pagoda required me to juggle too many things that were only loosely coupled together.

GoBuffalo was great but as soon as I started using, it got archived :’)

Now I default to beego. It isn’t as batteries included as a rails or django app, but there’s enough there that I don’t have to write as much boilerplate as with only the stdlib.

agreed. It's interesting that Go has a lot of the ground work set up (built-in prod server, etc.) but no framework has really taken off. And the dev productivity when compared to something like Django is painfully slow...

How do you decide whether a side project/idea is worth pursuing? You mentioned in another comment that you don’t “do the MVP stuff” and go full blown from the beginning. That seems like a big time sink without a rigorous way of validating whether users want what you’re building.
