I turned into a Gopher about 10 months ago and have never looked back. Like many other gophers, I quickly found the simple features of the language quite useful to quickly build fast and scalable software. When I was initially picking up Go, I was playing around with different multiplexers available to be used as an API server.

If you are coming from a Rails background like me, you probably would also have struggled in building all the features which one can get from Web Frameworks. Coming back to the multiplexers, I found 3 to be quite useful: Gorilla mux, httprouter and bone (ordered in ascending order of their performance). Even though bone had the best performance and a simpler handler signature, it was not mature enough to be used in a production environment yet. So I ended up using httprouter.
