>And how does zig stdlib compare to something like the go stdlib
the stdlib is still work in progress and not the current focus of development. right now things get added to it organically (ie things needed by the compiler itself, the toolchain, or as a proof of concept for other important functionality, like an event loop). as we move forward we will have a phase where we make a final decision on what should stay in, what should be improved, and and what should be cut.
In the meantime you can quickly get a feel for what's in the stdlib by browsing the online docs:
