I evaluated Go a few months ago for a web project, but it seemed as if there was a lot of manual work involved in mapping objects in and out of a MySQL database and in and out of JSON (basically, 50% of my day-to-day back end work). It just seemed too arduous.
The second thing that bothered me was that an edge-case bug in one of my HTTP handlers paniced the app. If that had happened in production while under load, many users would have gotten an error due to a bug in one user's request.
So, serious questions:
- What is the best way to map objects to/from JSON?
- What is the best way to map objects to/from a database?
- What is the best way to prevent a request from crashing the server and killing a bunch of unrelated requests?
