Comment on Build Your Own Web Framework in Go

Comments

The original source talks at length about why you shouldn't use the Martini web framework, and links to another post where Jeremy Saenz (Martini's author) more or less disavows his creation (http://blog.codegangsta.io/blog/2014/05/19/my-thoughts-on-ma...). That's an interesting read, I'm surprised that I missed it earlier this year.

I'm also surprised to read that Jeremy has written a more idiomatic successor framework... and named it "Negroni" (http://negroni.codegangsta.io). I don't know if I'm being too hyper-sensitive as a contemporary American, but is this just absolutely cringe-worthy to anyone else? I don't think I could evangelize this at work for that simple reason.

"Oh hey, go check out the 'Negro' framework! It's written by the guy who goes by 'Code Gangsta', and you can read about it on his blog in between YouTube clips of him rapping." (yes, seriously)

Maybe the author enjoys Italian cocktails. It certainly fits considering the 'Martini' name.

What is the sound of one face palming?

I think you're being hyper-sensitive.

I mean it's a common drink.
