Golang also has a rich ecosystem of external community libraries but

1) the standard library is often enough to get work done (http server, sql, etc)

2) external libraries often would simply sit atop the standard library which is easier to standardise and swap things around

3) the language is quite bare and simple, I was weirded out by the "for" in Go but I now like it. Need to map, filter, or increment counters? Use "for".

4) No need to hesitate between 5 linters or testing libraries, "go" does it so again it's standardised.

As for Svelte, I'm not loving it as much as Go but for frontend, it's just the most "JS/TS" of all without added layer of magic. There is still some, but it's graspable.
