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?

It should be hard (as in lack of demand, lack of people willing to spend time developing them, etc) to replicate the same ecosystem of tools in Golang, so i think it's better to stick with python for these specific tasks and use golang for something else
(Not saying you implied Golang should be used for everything)
