Which `Go` Web Framework in 2024?

[nelsonic]

Need to do a quick recon of Go Web frameworks to decide which one we can/should use for a mini project that might turn into a larger one ...

Specifically need:

1. Something "batteries included" like Phoenix or lightweight but easy to extend like next.js
2. Fast UI rendering using a library like htmx.
3. Ideally auth built-in or a simple to add like mix phx.gen.auth or via plugin.
4. If there is an "admin interface" generator similar to phoenix mix.gen.html

Reading: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/11044h8/best_web_sever_framework/ it appears as though our initial list for research is:

• [ ] gin: https://gin-gonic.com/docs -> https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin Definitely the most mature and popular.
• [ ] echo: https://echo.labstack.com -> https://github.com/labstack/echo The "contender".
• [ ] go-chi: https://github.com/go-chi/chi Looks very lightweight (basic?) to me. That's good for perf but not sure about maintainability in a larger team ... 💭

Note: we need to do this research as a "break" from our other more pressing work.
