Awesome to see. The docs have been pretty good even prior to this update, but it's nice to know they get some love in an open-source project. (I'm preparing to launch a Go application w/ RethinkDB up back using the [community] Go driver: https://github.com/christopherhesse/rethinkgo — couldn't be an easier DB to use without an ORM)

In RethinkDB: new documentation site, cookbook with examples, practical guides

Mike @ RethinkDB here. Great feedback-- while we've been a bit behind in rolling out releases to other distros and languages, we've been delighted to see the community pick up our slack: - Our new build system has people successfully compiling from source and building community packages for CentOS, Slackware, Gentoo, Arch, and lots of other distros. - One intrepid soul is porting RethinkDB to FreeBSD, where it builds successfully (almost ready to merge in): https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/pull/688 - We've seen an enormous number of client drivers for different languages pop up in a short time, with some impressive collaboration: * rethink-net (C#/.NET): https://github.com/mfenniak/rethinkdb-net * php-rql (PHP): https://github.com/danielmewes/php-rql * rethinkgo (Go): https://github.com/christopherhesse/rethinkgo

* cl-rethinkdb (Common Lisp): https://github.com/orthecreedence/cl-rethinkdb * haskell-rethinkdb (Haskell): https://github.com/atnnn/haskell-rethinkdb * lethink (Erlang): https://github.com/taybin/lethink * librethinkdb (C): https://github.com/unbit/librethinkdb * Lots of emerging efforts for Java, Perl, and other languages. It's great to see people passionate about bringing our project to other platforms / distros, and we're doing whatever we can to support them. If anyone's interested in a similar project, shoot me an email at mike [at] rethinkdb.com

In RethinkDB 1.5 released: secondary indexes, soft durability, perf improvements

> Does Go have a defacto web framework? There's a few, but I think it's still too early to really call out a "defacto" framework. Revel, as mentioned, is a popular "full stack" framework, but it can be pretty heavy. web.go[1] gets a lot of use (it sits at a Flask/Sinatra level), and beego[5] looks good but it's also totally acceptable to plug a few libraries together without much work on top. For example, I'm using: - mux, sessions, schema & context from Gorilla[2] - go.auth for social sign-in [3] - the RethinkDB driver [4] ... and that's about it. Write your routes with mux, set up your handlers with auth/sessions/schema, and generate your models & queries with whatever DB you want. The standard html/template library is good enough (and there's a Mustache library if you need it), and the standard http library covers everything in between

. TL;DR: If you enjoy writing Flask/Sinatra apps, you'll enjoy writing Go web apps. If you're coming from a full-stack framework (like me), there is definitely a learning curve, but I feel that Go's documentation and std. lib flatten that out a little.
