In Go, there is no module named builtin in the standard library, as in Python. However, Go has a package called builtin, which contains definitions of built-in functions and types available by default.
This package is not intended for direct use in code but serves for internal support of the compiler and documentation. It describes basic functions (e.g., len, cap, append, copy, close, delete, panic, recover) as well as basic types (int, string, bool, etc.) that are accessible without import.
Thus, in Go, "builtin" is a set of built-in functions and types that are always available and do not require explicit import. Unlike Python, where builtins is a module with such functions, in Go, it is part of the language and compiler.
