I would argue that the lack of features like generics and meta programming (annotations/decorators) push Go the language away from frameworks.

(I know that the absence of generics is temporary)

This is nonsense. There are plenty frameworks, like the one discussed in this post. The lack of any kind of language feature has never stopped people from writing solid libraries, frameworks and applications in Go. Lots of examples out there.

I didn’t say there aren’t frameworks, I said there is a reasonable argument that the language’s feature set tends away from frameworks.
