Hello guys,

So I was wondering, where anyone is using the Hexagonal Architecture in Go ? ( http://alistair.cockburn.us/Hexagonal+architecture )

All the code that I see most of the time is that structs are directly returned from functions and there is no clear separation between domain objects and infrastructure.

Have anyone tried to apply similar stuff in Go ?

The only discussions I have seen that are even close are about the Clean Architecture. The first link mentions Hexagonal Architecture.

I know of no real world examples.

I guess you can consider Go interfaces to be rough analogues to
what're called "adapters" in that wiki page.

I'm building a user management service in golang and trying to follow the principles of hexagonal/clean architecture.
