>couldn't think of a way that did not end up using reflection The builtin decoders (eg, json) use reflection. You don't lose any of the benefits of static typing as you are still decoding into your statically-typed object. I would separate form parsing from object validation. Use something like this: https://github.com/ajg/form to populate statically-typed go structs from form data, and then validate your objects.
