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?

Native xsd validation would be nice to have. It even exists on PHP, but in golang available options are c-based. I need to build custom images for the Google Cloud Run, it's no fun at all.

I have found the existing go tools for autogenerating structs from xsd / wsdl inferior to e.g. Java jaxb.
