Code generation is becoming really important in Go. Why even use an ORM when https://sqlc.dev/ will generate everything from vanilla SQL? Why make the frontend team write a Typescript client when https://goa.design on the backend will produce an OpenAPI schema they can just point a https://openapi-generator.tech at? Why write out GraphQL boilerplate when https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen will take your GQL typedef and generate it all for you based on how you want it to look. Why write validation rules when you can just define your input struct and let https://github.com/mustafaakin/gongular generate the rest for you? Honestly, I'm loving this. I want to focus on the entities and business logic - not writing yet another handler/resolver for basic auth + CRUD work.

I wish more people encouraged people new to Go to look at some of the targets you'll arrive at so that people don't come into Go thinking the end result is going to be using the Go version of Laravel, Spring, or Rails. Go has some interesting ideas about models/ORM's, OpenAPI, validation, templates, embedded binary files and other things. When types matter, like in Go, code generation is often very important as well which isn't as common in scripting languages. https://goa.design/ for grpc/rest servers based on specs https://gokit.io/ for microservices https://github.com/mustafaakin/gongular demonstrates object-based validation using struct tags https://sqlc.dev/ for generated models based on SQL (skip the whole idea of an ORM) https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx for more traditional object population from SQL https://pkg.go.dev/errors for an

No more string passing. As mentioned in the article, flags matter in Go.
