A Proposal for Adding Generics to Go

Re:A Proposal for Adding Generics to Go by systemvoltage on Tuesday January 12, 2021 @02:24PM (#25752075)

Side tracking a bit: I wish there was a popular programming language like Go with rust-like package manager, Python style syntax and ability to hack, compilable, classic (classes, methods), and fast. Or I wish Go had classic OOP and raise Exception methods.

Basically, I want fast statically typed python with better package management. Or other way to put it, I want Go with classic OOP and Exceptions.

You might be interested in Nim (https://nim-lang.org). I can't say that it's very object oriented, but it is very flexible.

That's awesome, I will check it out. Just looking at initial syntax, you just made my day!

Been using Nim for a few projects lately, absolutely love it.

This, kinda! But I'm after:

- Python's OOP, stdlib, exceptions

- Go's fast compilation and binaries

- Rust's package manager (never used but I heard it's amazing)

- Java's third-party packages & tooling

- F#'s expressiveness, FP, type system (never used it, only read a few intro articles, but it looks very nice?)

I'm tyring to move on from Python but finding it difficult to decide what to learn next.

Really? This is how you form your opinions?

Nope, I'm looking to _learn_ a new language, and I _heard_ it's amazing. I didn't say it _was_ amazing
