This is the source code for my personal website. Originally, I had a website written in Python with Django but I decided to rewrite the website in Go. It has been a learning experience and is a lot of fun. The only libraries used besides the Golang standard lib is gorilla mux and sessions (http://gorillatoolkit.com/), and mgo (http://gopkg.in/mgo). On the frontend, it's Twitter Bootstrap and JQuery.
Well, mainly because Go rocks. But another reason is to get a little bit deeper into web programming. You need to do more without the help of the framework, and eventually, I think I will probably use some other libraries when the going gets really tough. But for now, it's fun to write it all from scratch.
Not much. Right now it has a pretty bland blog hooked into a Mongo database. Further down the line, I plan to rewrite some of the other apps in Golang.
