> If there would be something just like Go, but with a bit more powerful typesystem like Rust has (Option<T> instead of `err != nil`, and so on), and a simplified ML-like language instead of an imperative one... that would be my dream.
Not to be snarky (for once) but
- More powerful type system: that goes against the whole implementation culture behind Go and their wider philosophy
- ML-inspired instead of imperative: goes even more counter to the above
I have never tried Go and I will probably never care to try it, but I have never seen a language which manages to both be (1) simple in the Go-sense and (2) look remotely anything like an ML language.
