This isn't even true compared to other comparable platforms like .NET, let alone Go which has hands down the most useful and well constructed standard library in existence (yes, even better than Python).
- jpgvm 5y agoYeah I don't buy that. Especially not when things like this exist: https://pkg.go.dev/container https://pkg.go.dev/container And things like this don't: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/doc-files/coll-reference.html https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base... As I mentioned Go does have a great HTTP and TLS stack but that doesn't do enough to put it on the same level.
- earthboundkid 5y agoGo didn’t have any container types in the standard library because it didn’t have generics and slice plus hash map solve 90% of what you need. I think an avalanche of container libraries are coming to Go. I already wrote my own deque and have seen a few others.
