Saying that the standard library is all you need is like saying that you don't need the standard library either, Go's Keywords are all you need. Not really sure what you mean by that. I didn't say the standard lib is all you need I said start with the standard lib and add other libs when and as you need rather than starting with everything in the beginning. In my experience you end up fighting the framework in the long run, but if you like them use them.
