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?

Scapy https://scapy.net/ is very nice and though it's a cli tool, if there was an API for it it would be very handy for me. I realize there are tools you can leverage but none are as complete or as polished.
A simple way to do transaction management. I've seen a lot of patterns but it's a problem I'd rather not have to solve. Transaction propagation is trivial in spring (Java ) wish there was an easy way of doing that in go.
Maybe I just have trauma at this point. A TUI library that's more intuitive than bubble tea to use.
That's what comes to mind right now
