Claude is hallucinating here I think

I do not think this is wise to add anything like this block. These just cause flame wars and tensions between communities. Saying that Fiber performance is Good and Echo/Gin excellent is plain out wrong - Go standard library is ~30% slower than Fasthttp implementation of HTTP.

I would prefer previous as it has proper error checking. This is a good snippet to have on first page of library.
if err := e.Start(":8080"); err != nil && !errors.Is(err, http.ErrServerClosed) {
slog.Error("failed to start server", "error", err)

echo-contrib is repository for official middlewares not patterns/examples. I think closest to pattern/examples is https://echo.labstack.com/docs/category/cookbook
