I'm trying out Martini, which adds some nice functionality upon Go's basic net/http package.

I was wondering tho. How can I, like Django does too, let the server restart itself on source-file changes? I know how to monitor a file, but I'm not sure how to retrigger the Server within the same process.

I'm guessing to trigger http.ListenAndServe again, but I have a feeling it doesn't go well with instance already running.

Do I need to spawn a subprocess/daemon to get this working?

Maybe you need gin ?
