WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Yep, agreed. Go is a great language for AWS Lambda type workflows.
Python isn't as great (Python Lambda Layers built on Macs don't always work). AWS Data Wrangler (https://github.com/awslabs/aws-data-wrangler) provides pre-built layers, which is a work around, but something that's as portable as Go would be the best solution.
Why can't you just build libraries to make Go a better language for data science? There's already Go support for a Jupyter Notebooks kernel: https://github.com/gopherdata/gophernotes
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.
