Can’t speak for buffalo but there are many libraries that have not been updated in a while and there’s a reason for that - they are complete.
There is no reason to update them, this isn’t nodejs that depends on one billion packages to do one thing where one of those changing basically affects any downstream users.
The std library is awesome, backwards compatible, and lots of libraries just add onto it. The interfaces are compatible and you can just keep your code simple.
I used to code a lot in Go. These days I’m back in node because it’s just easier for me to move faster. I’m also not doing anything with concurrency, so haven’t had a real need for Go
I think for core critical services I would use Go again just I haven’t needed to yet with my new project.
