I also had hard times with built-in templating library for Go. That's why I created quicktemplate [1]. Usually it is much easier and natural to write templates in quicktemplate comparing to built-in templating library. As an additional benefit, quicktemplate templates work much faster (10x and more) than standard Go templates. The only downside that quicktemplate templates must be pre-compiled to Go code before building the app. [1] https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate https://github.com/valyala/quicktemplate
