One part of the ecosystem and community is that they tend to pull up their nose at using too many libraries, especially if they're too different from the standard library. A lot of people come into e.g. the Go slack channel and ask "What is the best web application framework?", because that's the go-to thing when you do e.g. Java; the common answer is "YAGNI", because the standard library is good enough. If not, there are some really lightweight libraries on top of the stdlib that do things like adding route matching, or slight conveniences to do SQL.
