I am making the argument that the concept of a router is inherently broken. Writing your own router doesn't improve on that. Don't write a router, write routing logic. Or, if you prefer: Instead of writing a domain specific language (in the form of a single router type) for routing which is general enough to cover any and all usecases, just use the existing language to express the logic. As the graph of routes is the same and needs to be written down either way, you end up with effectively the same amount of code, but it is more readable, more understandable, more localized and overall clearer. IMHO. p/s: I'm a new comer (transition from C and Python) to Go but due to the > fact that I need just a simple dynamic parameter url feature > The post specifically mentions how to do this. You don't *have* to heed my advice, of course. Feel free to use gorilla/mux or any other router, if you prefer.
