I like the rationale here, had not really even considered the era in which Go was created and the implications for that in comparison to languages and frameworks of the past. You're right though, it changes things. My experiences from ruby and java were just that frameworks ended up creating standardisation and Go being the language of the Cloud was probably going to need something similar. Adoption curves take time but I think you're right, it's more likely that an extension to the standard library for distributed systems concerns works better than say a framework.
