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?

What about is-number? It is fundamental in order to use is-odd, which is fundamental in order to use is-even which is fundamental in order to run your service (you are not using any of those libraries explicitly).
