If Go supported method overloading, you could actually write the types of those functions out. The first one is either a string or a regexp.Regexp, and the second one is one of four variations on an http.Handler, giving a total of 8 varieti

Huh. I'm not sure I saw that particular project during my search. It looks neat! Without having looked in detail at httprouter, I think the most obvious reason it might not be sufficient is that it doesn't support regular expressi

Yeah, this is a good question, and the unfortunate answer is that it was an engineering tradeoff. I wrote a pretty long reply to cypriss ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7632956 ) which I think covers this.

Yeah, I looked at gocraft/web for a long time before writing Goji. It's a good library, and I think it does a lot of things right. But at the end of the day, just like my disagreement with Martini, this comes down to a difference

Actually, Goji grew out of a single deficiency in "pat": the fact that it does not have a standard way of defining request context. The big use case here is how you'd write a middleware that did authentication (using API keys

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure it is better (I was hoping you would help me decide that!), and I wrote it mostly because every aspiring programmer writes a web framework at some point, and it was time I wrote mine (it was a lot o

Blackboard isn't all bad—fixing many of its inadequacies was one of my first big side projects in high school. There was one Blackboard dashboard unit that allowed you to embed arbitrary HTML, and I injected some JS onto the page that

Randomized routing isn't all bad. In fact, if Heroku were to switch from purely random routing to minimum-of-two random routing, they'd perform asymptotically better [1]. [1]: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~michaelm/postscripts/mythesis.p...

Harvard is seeing a very similar trend. Our intro to CS course, CS 50 [1], had an enrollment of over 600 this Fall (up about 20%), making it one of the largest classes at the College [2]. Even its teaching staff, which numbers over 100, is
