Go 1.18 Beta 1 is available, with generics

I like Python the language just fine. Static typing needs a good bit of work, but the real pain points for me have always been performance and tooling (especially package management).

But Go has solid answers for these problems and an excellent static typing story (generics are gravy, but sum types would be nice). I’ve been very happy with Go on balance.

Except when you need to use struct tags, then everything is flimsy. I would rather have C#'s attribute over strings only.

I haven’t had any problem with struct tags personally. I wish Python had some sane way to reliably auto marshal objects to JSON in the stdlib.
