What mux/router to use now a days?
gorilla/mux is at least more battle-tested. I'd rather fork it myself, or evaluate a useful fork of it such as this one (if it seems well-maintained, I haven't done the leg-work).

And in that time, I’ve gotten the router I’ve been working on, Waggy, up to a new version of v0.8.0!! Along with some minor bug fixes, some refactoring, and restructuring changes, there is now full support for custom middleware and listening and serving on a specific host:port address.

Waggy v0.3 Released!!
Waggy v0.3 is out now!! Along with some minor bug fixes, v0.3 comes with two major improvements, being the ability to configure loggers for WaggyRouters and WaggyHandlers alike, as well as a convenience wrapper for serving files as responses. One other big unplanned, but welcome improvement is the ability to use Waggy in conjunction with Fermyon’s Spin Go SDK for writing WAGI microservices that can also make outgoing HTTP calls.
