Agreed 100%. As a person who writes Go daily, I appreciate that they conformed to well established standards. The crypto is redone in Go which is a little scary, but the author is among the best in the business so I generally trust it.
I think that’s a separate point. It does include a template language because Go is “batteries included”.
You can write productive stuff without having to import any third party packages at all. Everything you need is properly supported by the core team and written to the same standard.
