Have: a new language that transpiles to Go

I'm already becoming really productive in Rust, so I haven't had any reason to really pick up Go. (We do use it at our company, but I mostly work in Java, Ruby, and TypeScript.)

That said, the idea of a transpiled language that adds generics definitely piques my interest. Ultimately, I suppose I would be worried of the language stalling or falling out of favor, like CoffeeScript.

The name choice doesn't seem that well thought out, which also makes me question the authors somewhat.

I think the issue with CoffeeScript was that it didn't add anything beyond the arguably prettier syntax.

Have changes the syntax too, but it is also trying to fix things that often cause bugs in Go code, it adds generics, and there are a few other features on the way, too.
