Ć Programming Language

Very and very hard if you're aiming for readability. Ć should be "intersection" of all supported languages in a sense, so it does not support features unless all targets do. For Python that would be dynamic typing.

Of course, it's possible to introduce a type like 'any' which can refer to any object, but then you essentially get untyped Ć which results in untyped Go. Which is not really Go anymore, it's more of a Python interpreter.

Thanks! One practical target I imagine having is: 1. write the program in Python. 2. translate it into Ć ("interlingua") 3. compile Ć into Go -- for instance there is a belief around me, that Python is not suitable for web scale loads, while Go is more suitable.

Go source code / binary in this case are of less importance for code readability, because they are meant for production deployments. Something that happened in GWT: write in Java, compile into JavaScript.
