Genkit Go, Eino, ADK Go, tRPC-Agent-Go, LangChainGo compared with real code

Xavier Portilla Edo's hands-on DZone deep dive compares the five Go GenAI frameworks developers will actually encounter in 2026: Genkit Go, Eino, Google ADK Go, tRPC-Agent-Go, and LangChainGo — each with real code and real output.
- Context: Go has quietly become the language of AI infrastructure (MCP servers, agent runtimes, model gateways, K8s operators). The 2026 question is no longer "Go or Python?" but "which Go framework?"
- Status: Four frameworks are alive and moving fast; LangChainGo, the one most Go devs heard of first, is now effectively unmaintained.
- Open question: do we have too many agent frameworks — or will general agents with skills negate custom-coded agents?
