Go has a stronger standard library for certain use cases like basic CRUD web applications, but a lot of the Go standard library is also extremely low quality (flag, container, image, json, log, math, path, regexp, sync, time). Many of these aren't usable outside of toy use cases and have weird edge cases all over the place. Over time many will probably get new incompatible versions just like json. The container package in Go is the worst collection library in any mainstream programming language by a huge margin. It's actually astounding how bad it is.
