http://go-lang.cat-v.org/pure-go-libs lists two PosgreSQL drivers, but they haven't been updated since months and looking like one man shows. So I wonder if they are reliable / ready for production or if there are other recommended drivers.

Would you use Go with PostgreSQL for production and with what driver?
