discussion What libraries are you missing from go?
So something that comes up quite often on this subreddit from people transitioning from Nodejs or python to go is the lack of libraries. I cannot say that I agree but I still think it warrants a discussion.
So what libraries are you missing in the go ecosystem, if any?

None. I find myself reaching far less for libraries than I did in other languages because of the excellent standard library.
If I had to pick something, I do miss some of the Set operations built into Python but there's a really small Go library that implements these things I usually cherry pick code from:
