  • Go+: Go designed for data science

    Apart from Gonum[1] numerical libraries, I haven't found specific data science related Go libraries in my search for it for some hobby projects when compared to Python ecosystem.

    Interestingly Prose[2] A Go library for text processing yielded better results for named-entity extraction when compared to NLTK in my tests in terms of accuracy and obviously performance.

    Perhaps Go is not being applied enough in the Data Science/ML and for fields where it's applied (Network) Math in the standard library seems to be sufficient.
