Python: Just Write SQL
We've always used https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx which is just the standard package + mapping to/from structs.

Golang equivalent of MyBatis/iBatis
You can use this https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx

REST API with Go, Chi, MySQL and sqlx
I will be using sqlx to execute queries and map columns to struct fields and vice versa, sqlx is a library which provides a set of extensions on go's standard database/sql library.
- PHP to Golang

Best sqlc alternative for dynamic queries?
sqlx + squirrel ftw

Does Go, has something similar to Laravel eloquent (ORM) ?
I'd rather suggest the use of tools more aligned with the core concepts of the language such as sqlx, which is an extension of the database/sql standard library. It allows you to use models/structs to map your tables but you have more control over the SQL statements you use to perform queries and the like. You can combine sqlx with Squirrel to build queries from composable parts.

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

Where Is the Spring Framework for Go?
This is the same situation I saw 20 years ago. Back then, all the managers were pushing development in Oracle tools. Those managers grew up on Oracle and Java was too modern for them. Now the situation is similar. Managers used to do things in Java and now they are still pushing Java. In fact, today Java brings nothing but problems. When I see a new project starting on Java it is always some big desperation. For a comparison of Java and Go, just look at the documentation for SQL. For go: https://pkg.go.dev/database/sql (31 pages) and maybe https://jmoiron.github.io/sqlx/ (12 pages). In Java only one class is 59 pages (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSet.html) and look how many of those documents there are: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/13/docs/api/java.sql/java/sql/package-summary.html and on top of that we have javax.sql - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/sql/package-summary.html And even then you use Hibernate for example, where the documentation has 11 manuals and of those the User Guide has 353 pages - https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/6.2/userguide/html\_single/Hibernate\_User\_Guide.html

Open-sourcing SQX, a way to build flexible database models in Go
We are really happy using jet. It lets you write type safe SQL and can read the results into structs- including joins into slice fields.

The "preferred" way of mapping SQL results in Golang is honestly, subjectively, awful, how to deal with this
Check go-jet https://github.com/go-jet/jet

goscanql - conveniently reading joined SQL data into structs
https://github.com/go-jet/jet does a similar thing.

Does Go, has something similar to Laravel eloquent (ORM) ?
Try go-jet, it generates the models based on the schema, provides typed column names.

Any mid sized / big open source code base in golang that makes use of SQL DBs?
I have tried doing that, but was unable to get it to work. I posted about it in a discussion here: https://github.com/go-jet/jet/discussions/215

ORM or no ORM (and which ones)?
Use sql builder https://github.com/go-jet/jet.
- GitHub - go-jet/jet: Type safe SQL builder with code generation and automatic query result data mapping
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sqlx and jet you can also consider the following projects:
pgx - PostgreSQL driver and toolkit for Go
sqlc - Generate type-safe code from SQL
goqu - SQL builder and query library for golang
Squirrel - Fluent SQL generation for golang
SQLBoiler - Generate a Go ORM tailored to your database schema.
go-sql-driver/mysql - Go MySQL Driver is a MySQL driver for Go's (golang) database/sql package
migrate - Database migrations. CLI and Golang library.
gomock - GoMock is a mocking framework for the Go programming language.
pgcapture - A scalable Netflix DBLog implementation for PostgreSQL
go-queryset - 100% type-safe ORM for Go (Golang) with code generation and MySQL, PostgreSQL, Sqlite3, SQL Server support. GORM under the hood.
