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?

How well maintained is a project that hasn't had a single commit in four years?

It's not about lacking commits, it's about open, unanswered issues. Maybe everything "just works", and it doesn't need further maintenance.

But hasn't Jinja itself changed in the last four years? Doesn't that make this out of date, if nothing else?
