Websockets - Gorilla only? (lemmy.ml)

I find it kinda odd that github.com/gorilla/websocket, which is deprecated and the repo is in archive mode, is still the most popular library for websockets.

Case in point: go.elara.ws/go-lemmy

I'm not saying this is inherently bad, I just wonder why that is.

I guess the most common last words are "How hard could it be?", but why is nobody rolling their own?

My hunch would be that so much boilerplate already exists, and golang is so extremely popular, that a lot of it is being pulled into tutorials, samples and new projects. If it already exists there, I doubt the many users even check the repo.
