I'd love a language that is a GC'd like go, but with the ML inspired type system, and still an imperative language. OCaml seems to be the closest thing to Rust in that regard, but it's not imperative.

OCaml has if/else, for loops, whiles, mutations, what are you missing?

There are also Swift, F# (Native AOT), Scala (Native, GraalVM, OpenJ9).

Nim is pretty close to that for me. It’s more pascal-ish inherited but has a sophisticated type system including case types similar to ML sum types and compile time.

That language is Swift.
