Actually I've been meaning to ask a question related to this. I've been wondering if, during the development of Onionoo, you considered any other frameworks? I'm not familiar with the history of Onionoo so I don't know if you made the choice based on some constraint. I read the design doc which made me curious.
Most design choices were made in favor of making the web front-end part scale. It's a response to building some services like the (discontinued) relay search that started with reasonable performance and degraded a lot over time. It's why, in Onionoo, responses are written to disk by the hourly updater and not put together on-the-fly. And it's why all requests are handled by an in-memory index of all documents rather than by a database. I'm not saying that no other design can achieve the same performance, but I find that much harder, in particular with respect to performance variance. Not sure what frameworks you have in mind. But I'm happy to hear more about frameworks that would make Onionoo easier to extend and not perform worse (or even better) than now. If you have something in mind, please say so.
