I agree. That said, ML is definitely a small language like Go, without OCaml's extras like the object system.
Alas, ML lacks Go's awesome and very modern standard library, which is a key part of Go's allure.
But yes, I would adore a functional language with Go's best features, particularly the standard library, solid concurrency, simplicity/ease-of-learning, fast compiles, binaries, static, etc.
