Automatically generate the boilerplate

@kujtimiihoxha has created https://github.com/kujtimiihoxha/gk which seems to be a fairly good approximation of my "spec" above. I haven't had a chance to play with it in earnest yet but I shall!

You can also check out my new generator https://github.com/kujtimiihoxha/kit 🎉

Tune has also been working on something kind of like this. It is called truss.

@kofalt I would absolutely welcome fresh eyes on this. In truth I think it would not be too hard: it would be a great project for someone who wants to get nice and cozy with package go/ast. I've updated the initial issue with some changes, please take a look! If you want to get serious, I'd love to chat more; you can find me on the Gophers Slack in #go-kit.

Have you considering add predefined or default response for new endpoint? It maybe help for mock service during develop new API.

👍 I consider the verbosity the only flaw of gokit. It complicates the code and hides important implementation details. It also increases the learning curve.

@peterbourgon in #75 you mention that you'd welcome a fresh try at accomplishing this. Do you have thoughts on how that attempt went wrong, and how it could be tried again? I was looking to try out go-kit, and this exact issue is what's making me hesitate. If the generation is straightforward enough, maybe it's the sort of thing that myself or another interested beginner could attempt.
