Having such a large standard library to me smells like you can't build one as nice as that with the language. Since it missed generics until recently I can figure out why the STD library is that good and large and why there weren't that much framework. I've used Java before it had generics too.
- majewsky 4y agoI'm not sure I understand correctly but I'm assuming that this: > Having such a large standard library to me smells like you can't build one as nice as that with the language. means that you're implying that the Go stdlib is written in non-Go because Go would not be expressive enough. If so, that's a wrong assertion. The entire Go toolchain is Go, including the compiler, runtime and stdlib. If you happen to have Go installed, you can find the stdlib at /usr/lib/go/src.
