And now you've figured out the benefit of a language with a strong set of core libraries and an stdlib that come with it.

Go has its opinions and I don't agree with many of them, but the upstream packages combined with golang.org/x allow you to build pretty much anything. And I really like the community that embraced a trend of getting close to zero dependencies for their projects and libraries.

The only dependency I usually have for my projects are C binding or eBPF related. For most of the other parts I can just choose the stdlib.
