Actually I am still considering to get started with Golang and have plan to learn it when I have time. But, my mind is on the frameworks too, so I am doing survey for the frameworks like in this article.
Now after reading the description of Confetti in this article, i.e about Laravel's heavy influence on it, I soon visited its official website for an introduction.
I hope it is not like AdonisJs, a Node.js framework which is also heavily inspired by Laravel. Because, although looks very nice, I didn't find wide acceptance of Adonis among Node.js developers who still prefer a minimalist framework like Express.
After my learning of Go/Golang is sufficient, I plan to give it a try.
