The API case for Go is absurd IMO because what libraries are there in Go that are simultaneously not widely available in other languages and also difficult to implement on your own?
People complain about Racket's ecosystem, but it has many libraries that would be PhD level effort to implement and are unique in its ecosystem such as Rosette and Redex. If some random REST API doesn't have bindings yet, implementing those myself isn't all that difficult.
