Why is Rust difficult?

I do hope it's not true that people from the community would attack you for writing a compile-to-go language.

I don't think it's such a bad idea, considering how stable the language itself is, it's a pretty solid bet.

Spend some time on golang-nuts, proposing ideas from "languages for academics".

Why not fix Go instead?

You can't fix Go directly. You have to convince the language designers that it needs fixing. The fastest way of doing that would likely be at least a proof of concept, or better yet, a complete tool that gets significant community uptake.

Ah, unlike programmable languages like Scheme or Lisp, where I can modify the language as needed, by using code.
