This looks like great work, so probably this comment is a little off topic, but here goes anyways:

Every web framework I've seen for Golang seems to do a competent job of tackling the easiest part of designing a web framework, which is routing requests to handlers.

Actually, the built-in net/http library already does a serviceable job of handling requests, and if you understand closures, filtering them and maintaining request state as well.

The thing no framework I have seen so far addresses is persistence. SQL persistence in Golang is a bit of a nightmare. It's raw SQL, and the database libraries are fussy.

The thing that makes Rails so easy to write in, especially for newcomers, is ActiveRecord. As far as I can tell, nothing like it exists (in a stable form) for Golang.
