The std library is a big part of the magic. It’s so shocking to go to JS land and see that there are 10 different 3rd party libraries to make http requests, all with wildly different ergonomics all within one code base due to cross dependency heck.

In Go there’s pretty much only the http package, and any 3rd party packages extend it and have the same ergonomics.

For a while my biggest gripe was package management but it’s a dream where we are now.
