It does. It's rock solid and most people use it in production. But the parent is more concerned about quick and handy functions. IMHO, such functionality is usually part of third-party libraries and is certainly an option in Go. It's just idiomatic Go favors KISS principles, less external dependancies and a more self-contained software. The benefit is that pretty much all the Go source code is more-or-less identical, regardless of an author. It makes it super simple to understand and deep dive into a random complex piece of software. Go is not about abstractions, Go is about solving problems here and now.
