I'm actually coding a LITTLE project with 7 tables and thinking if Golang was the right choice.. but I picked Golang because there is some async realtime component. My pace of dev is very slow.


What aspect is causing it to be slow for you? Note that there are definitely some areas of Go I find terrible, and SQL is one of them. Check out the SQLx library, it's far less painful than the stdlib SQL is.


Error handling, avoiding nulls, writing queries...
