Basic project template for golang, slightly opinionated (opens in new tab)

Needing python to create a golang project template...

I noticed they default to creating a main function that runs os.Exit(0). I recommend not doing that because it stops any potential deferred actions from running. It's not required for their simple main() func to run correctly, but I feel it's a good habit to get into.

really? Three (known) dependencies before I even start? Plus Python?

The wonderful thing I'm loving about Golang is that I can reduce dependencies. Put the ones I need in a vendor directory. Edit those files to remove their dependencies for edge cases I don't need in my project.

Less is more!

I can't even begin to grasp how this is HN front page. No offence, but in the world of tech is this really in the top 30 most interesting things?

the project has now been updated and is now a lot less opinionated except for a few things.
