I've never tried it but I think I've heard of it. Regardless, it's a third-party tool, so not at the same level of support as Go.
Technically ecto, phoenix, plug, cowboy/bandit and Jason are third party tools too.
Yes, I'm aware. I've been programming in Elixir since 2014. I didn't intend to imply that being third-party means these are bad tools, they're not. They're great. But Go people often harp about how much stuff is in the standard library, so it felt relevant to mention.
