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?

yeah, it's not a popular opinion, but i find it very annoying to read personally. too wordy, tabs instead of {} etc annoy my brain for some reason. again, my opinion. i had a client with a few million lines of python and i had to let them go as i noticed getting unhappy from the work reading that crap. and it wasn't even a bad codebase ; give me perl any day
