I've used a lot of PHP in my life and now feel Go is better suited for my needs. My gut tells me Go libs are written by professionals, while there is a ton of PHP code written by amateurs to contend with. I'll know more once I get further into Go.

That's an unfortunate comparison. Go came around 10 years back and has started to become mainstream fairly recently. PHP has been around for 25 years. So ofcourse the number of libraries you see in PHP are much more and hence much more "amateur" libraries. The professionals writing go code today are the same professionals who wrote PHP code few years back.
