Ten years ago I was saying the same thing about Python with respect to Perl. Sure, it had some nice language features, but the libraries were a little spares. Now look at the Python libraries today.
Go's libraries are, IMHO, very thin right now. Just of the things I've recently looked for, there's no TLS v1.2, no XML parsing of any sensible variety, and the SMTP library is a sad joke. But I'm still using Go daily.
And guess what? It's also fun to get to write the libraries.
