Are there any decent ORMs in Golang?
But using a query builder, something like squirrel or (plug) bqb, allows you to actually write SQL (or something close to it) when you need it but also handles the nasty string building bits. Though I agree that ORMs are not always bad, especially for small projects with well-defined scope.

GORM
Plug for bqb as a query builder, but there's also squirrel which works pretty well too.

Best packages?
(plug) bqb for very simple query building.

ORM vs SQL Builder in Go
Squirrel is great! Let me also plug bqb.

Open Source Go Projects for learning go
Plug: BQB (basic query builder) is small, 100% test coverage, and in AwesomeGo. A great starter project.

Where to find a virtual or local Go mentor?
I totally understand this. If you do go with a query builder, may I recommend bqb (shameless plug) as it allows you to remain closer to the SQL than some alternatives and doesn't do anything fancy. We stripped out 50% of our query logic with it in our org, which has enabled us to more readily tweak the SQL for performance.
-
Does gorm worth learning?
There's also bqb. We use it in production at our company -- much better than raw SQL. If you couple it with something like scany then you get more of the ORM benefits without the complexity.

Any "simple" projects with particularly well-written and/or well-documented code for a beginner to look through?
Another shameless plug: https://github.com/nullism/bqb pretty tiny query builder with 100% test coverage

Golang Postgres Schema Builder?
I've been looking for a package that allows me to build Postgres DDL statements in Golang. I'm currently using Goqu (https://github.com/doug-martin/goqu) for building statements and it works great, however it does not have support for building schemas. Basic things like creating tables, creating indexes. A great one in JavaScript can be found here: (https://knexjs.org/guide/schema-builder.html#essentials) I have been unable to find anything in Go, does anyone know of any packages like this?

Then use something like https://github.com/doug-martin/goqu to build the SQL.

ORM in Golang?
Try this

ORM vs SQL Builder in Go
We've been using goqu and it's super nice! although there are a ton of other query builders that could better fit your use-case.
-
escaping text in Go
If the statement is too dynamic to use query parameters I'd ideally use a dynamic query builder rather than concatenating strings. Goqu is a lib like that but I haven't yet used it personally https://github.com/doug-martin/goqu
