The state of Gorilla toolkit?

[vojtechmares]

Hello folks,

first of all, thank you for the work you have been doing!

I would like to ask you, the maintainers, how is the project going, roadmap plans, etc.?

I think Gorilla toolkit is feature complete and if someone desires something more sophisticated, they can migrate to other tooling that is built on top of net/http, which is fine.

I would like to get some information about the Gorilla explicitly. There is only one blog post on the web, no roadmap, no nothing (but repositories are active, I'm not saying Gorilla is dead!).

Perhaps a word about the future, new versions of Go, plans, or is it more like a maintenance mode? Either is fine. I would like this information to be public and visible, preferably on the web, instead of looking up GitHub issues or discussions...

Thank you.

PS: I like the Gorilla toolkit, I use it sometimes, but my day job is DevOps and not development, so I might be just out-of-the-loop and not up to date.

I'm not sure but I feel like most projects in the Gorilla toolkit are abandoned again. All but 2 of the repos haven't had a single commit in the last year. Even though I agree that the tools are feature complete it did not take me long to find multiple finished PR's with non-minor bug fixes waiting for a review by a maintainer.
Don't get me wrong I love the Gorilla tools but I myself have encountered multiple bugs and weird unexpected behavior only to find the fix in a almost one year old PR.

I am still very thankful for the great people that work/have worked on this project and I understand that the maintainers have their lives and jobs. Maybe it will gain some traction again if some new maintainers step up but those are probably hard to come by.
