Rob Pike: Gobs of data (2011)
Someone made a benchmark of serialization libraries in go [1], and I was surprised to see gobs is one of the slowest ones, specially for decoding. I suspect part of the reason is that the API doesn't not allow reusing decoders [2]. From my explorations it seems like both JSON [3], message-pack [4] and CBOR [5] are better alternatives.
By the way, in Go there are a like a million JSON encoders because a lot of things in the std library are not really coded for maximum performance but more for easy of usage, it seems. Perhaps this is the right balance for certain things (ex: the http library, see [6]).
There are also a bunch of libraries that allow you to modify a JSON file "in place", without having to fully deserialize into structs (ex: GJSON/SJSON [7] [8]). This sounds very convenient and more efficient that fully de/serializing if we just need to change the data a little.

FastHttp for Python (64k requests/s)
Fasthttp is one of the most powerful webservers written in Go, I'm working on a project that makes it possible to use it as a webserver for Python.

Tools besides Go for a newbie
IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

Beginner ~ Intermediate Go programmer, how can I get better in go and get out of the "beginner" phase?
The best example I can give you is https://github.com/nutsdb/nutsdb it’s great project that got me started, one thing one should know is Go is different “yep” so there’re some coding habits that may bite you in Go and the Go compiler won’t correct you, you wanna learn about optimizations, unsafe usage check out https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp (note this is deep the rabbit hole), wanna learn concurrency check out ants https://github.com/panjf2000/ants with a little aid from “Go by example” you’re good to go

Log: A minimal, colorful Go logging library 🪵
As I said in another comment, I think net/http is a good cautionary tale here. It was designed to be easy to use, and then grew organically, but performance never seems to have been a goal. fasthttp solves this, but bifurcates the ecosystem and passes on those costs to everyone who uses it. If net/http had been designed with performance in mind, this could have been avoided. net/http can't be removed or optimized, so this is a situation the Go ecosystem is effectively stuck with forever. At best, a faster version may end up in the std lib, just like netip is more modern and faster than net but the ecosystem is still bifurcated and adoption of the new package has been slow.

my office want to migrate to go programming language, what framework is recommended between chi or fiber?
Fiber, while has a lot of batteries included and decent for many use cases, is known for having corner cases (because of internals like fasthttp) like https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp/issues/622

Error handling in Go web apps shouldn't be so awkward
The three behaviors I've described that we want all depend on two things, the first of which is "idiomatic error handling". We need to be able to simply return err in our handlers. Unfortunately, the standard libray doesn't give us this. But some third-party frameworks do. The most popular one I'm familiar with is labstack echo, whose HandlerFunc looks like this:

Could I get a code review?
Use a library for HTTP serving, such as Gin, Chi, or Echo. I personally use Chi, as it's just the right level of abstraction for how I like to work. Despite what others say here, don't try to re-implement everything in a modern serving library using the standard library.

It's so easy to learn
Here I'm not really sure what you're referring to: * You can set request timeout and it has nothing to do with whether you handled your error or not. * In most cases you either bubble it up the callstack or do something with error in place you o received it i.e. you switch to default value, retry or sth along those lines. In some cases frameworks like echo will translate error into 5XX response for you if you don't do anything with it in top level handler. * Panics are recoverable. Also in case your handler panics it won't crash entire server -> stdlib HTTP server just closes connection, frameworks might even provide panic handler which will return 5XX instead of nothing. * try/catch doesn't really solve anything I mentioned here ¯_(ツ)_/¯. You just hope somebody caught your exception somewhere else.
