But seriously, the standard library gives you the components to build these tools yourself. If the Go distro included a http server that just served static files, while this would be perfect for your use case, others who wanted a server that forwarded to FastCGI would be incensed that Go shipped with such a limited tool, and furthermore we refused to improve it. It's better to give you the tools to write exactly the program you want, then you can share it with the world via go get.
