I've been writing Go services in production for ~5 years and I don't really agree. Go Web frameworks are usually what used to be referred as micro frameworks. They're great because they embed the bare minimum making the writing experience tolerable. What you say is true, it's easy to do with stdlib, but it's neither enjoyable not readable. A router lib and a validation lib are realistically still needed. The same applies for the sql package, it's basically unusable without at least something like sqlx.
