The original developer's thoughts on Martini: http://codegangsta.io/blog/2014/05/19/my-thoughts-on-martini/ http://codegangsta.io/blog/2014/05/19/my-thoughts-on-martini... Personally, I would like to highlight the part about Martini not being idiomatic. Being idiomatic in Go is a fairly big deal. It makes your code predictable and easier to read and maintain for other Go developers, and learning idiomatic practices can help a Go developer more easily pick up other Go frameworks and libraries. That's really the only concern I would have about using Martini to "get started" with Go, as it would actually lead you down a wholly different direction from the rest of the community and may actually make learning Go more difficult for a new developer. As an alternative, I would recommend the wonderful Go By Example: http://gobyexample.com/ http://gobyexample.com/
