Library for monkey-patching functions
This person did not read the license of the original library https://github.com/bouk/monkey/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Alternative for Monkey patching
I am a new gopher. I was looking into the Monkey Patching module and it is archived now. I was wondering if there is an alternative for that.

Why go plugin addresses do not load with go binary
Here is an example of this in Go - but as he says, don't actually do this. https://github.com/bouk/monkey

is there an easy (python like way) to do mocks?
I discovered this lib a few days ago. https://github.com/bouk/monkey it allows you to monkey patch entire functions, replacing them by whatever you want. Perfect for mocking. It's simple to use. The program is hard patching the code using assembly to replace the function address at runtime. You should not use this lib out of your tests since it's absolutely not safe. It's only compatible with linux and windows. But it works great!

Project includes a dependancy that has a license that forbids its use

Either the author is confused or has decided that he doesn't want to maintain an hack. Anyway license is pretty clear.
There was an HN thread[2] when it was released.

"This is as unsafe as it sounds and I don't recommend anyone do it outside of a testing environment."

Mocking database calls without a library?
then just replace whole function, don't generate manually the mock '__') or it would get out of hand fast, you can just use codegen that static typed like https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter
-
Libraries you use most of your projects?
https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter - generate static typed test double (can be used to mock or stub calls)
I prefer https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter

How do you write/generate mocks for testing?
counterfeiter is another tool, it creates mocks, stubs and spies; here is a short blog I wrote covering it.

Best/Easiest Rest Framework
for dependency injection I suggest you use https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter, but if you using really fast database (that can spawn fast using docker and has fast trx/sec) you can use it directly without dependency injection with https://github.com/ory/dockertest

Migrating from NodeJS/Typescript into Golang. Any advise for big web application?
Agree with u/mmknightx there is a tool that assist in creating fake or mock classes for your interfaces https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter
-
How do you control behaviour in mocked interface ?
Another alternative to use would be counterfeiter, it generates a type from your interface that could be used as a mock, stub or spy. I wrote a short post covering that tool if you're interested.
