Well, this is a tangent anyway. The main point was "why another go web framework" then he gave a better clarification. As you watch new languages spread, it's amazing how many web frameworks pop up. It's happening to Go and Node. I also inferred that Gin intentionally mimicked the Martini API so as to have a small learning curve and be a potential drop-in replacement. You say deprecating it is poor form, yet this guy just built a "better" version of the framework and says we should switch to it. I don't see how that's any classier than just saying "Martini sucks."
