Libraries that use native code in JS or C-bindings in Go are equally annoying to get going if the documentation from the author is sub-par. In the JS world you'll get pages and pages of node-gyp errors that are completely incomprehensible until you realize the author never mentioned that you needed a half dozen little development library dependencies installed. Native C/C++ library code interfacing just sucks in general because there is zero package or dependency management in that world too.
