Go or any language that actually gets compiled down to machine code to get executed directly on the hardware, and where libraries are compiled into the final product.

When I say something is a library function, I mean you just compile it into your code. In your code, you just call the function.

This is in contrast to the current defactor practice of making an http request to ask another program (potentially on a different machine) to do the work.
