Go has an awesome standard library that does most stuff.
There's also a set of "semi-official" libraries for things like crypto that can't be written by amateurs ;)
There are some other libraries that are commonly used, but you can count them on one hand.
I'm a massive convert to this. Instead of spending my time working out how to get two 3rd-party libraries to talk to each other, I spend my time writing domain-specific code. and my debugging time is spent in repo's that I have a hope of understanding because I wrote them ;)
It doesn't suit everyone, and there are frequent rants on golang forums about people not importing dependencies. But every gopher seems to go through the same journey, and end up at a place where they just write their own code rather than importing it.
