Funny you should take Go as an example, since it's often bashed for not having taken the last decade of language design into account.

Go does take the last decade of language design by Pike, Thompson, and Griesemer into account. Mostly Pike as I am not sure if the other two guys even did design some language in this time.
Personally, I consider gofmt the biggest achievement of Go, if it manages to make that mainstream. While there are equivalent tools for C they are not widely used.

Decade which ended 20-odd years ago relative to the rest of the world, kind-of the point.
You mean by designing a language that is basically Alef from Plan9(1992) with a few changes?
Yeah, really actual.
The English term for "actual" is "up-to-date". The English word "actual" means "not imaginary".
thanks for the correction.
Happy to help!
