go is slightly more verbose (surprise) but you can achieve the same thing using struct binding in gin:

    type DatasetStatsQuery struct {
        Verbose bool `form:"verbose"`
    }
    
    func DatasetStatsHandler(c *gin.Context) {
        datasetID := c.Param("dataset_id")
        var query DatasetStatsQuery
        if err := c.ShouldBindQuery(&query); err != nil {
            c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, gin.H{"error": err.Error()})
            return
        }
        // query.Verbose == bool
    }}
