It’s extensive, web server focused, ergonomic and has well documented and sensible security defaults.

In Go you can write a production ready, well tested, _concurrent_ web application with routing, auth, sql storage, html templating, image optimization, and so on without fetching third party libraries. And you’re not leaving official docs for it.

Almost. The sql package is just an abstract layer which requires a 3rd party module to provide the concretions. I guess the API is the same, but you still need a 3rd party lib :)

Most people don’t use the flags package either and opt for 3rd party, like cobra.

> with routing Don't you need some 3rd party lib for that (if you don't want to implement your own router)?
