Is the Go standard library really considered rich? Coming from languages like python or ruby I found it pretty lacking. Admittedly I haven't used Go in 3 years.

All of these things are a spectrum. For network services especially, Go's standard library is generally considered pretty comprehensive, yes. In comparison to Rust specifically, like the context of the post, I don't think anyone could really argue a different way, though if you're comparing to something else, or for a different kind of task, it's possible that you may have a different opinion, sure.

I felt like it had a lot to do things web related but was pretty lacking on primitives for algorithms and data structures out of the box.
