>The main issue is that it doesn’t support placeholder values
Can you elaborate? Like give me an example of a route path that uses placeholder values? I use Go to build web apps too and I really don't see a need for anything other than the standard library.
And what would that line of code be? As far as I am aware you have to parse the URL string, and it only gets more complicated when you add more URL parameters. Which definitely leads to boilerplate code shared across projects.
