Like a TypeScript for Go? We could call it Tolang.

  That's the idea! I use Rust for a lot of personal projects mainly because of the type system, not because it doesn't have GC. I think GC's totally livable for a great many things, and it would help iteration speed a lot to not have to deal with the borrow-checker, but I just can't stand working in a language with a shaky type system these days. So Go-with-good-types sounds fantastic to me.

    How about OCaml?

      I've heard the tooling and general ecosystem are not great (similar to Haskell), though I don't know firsthand
      • smabie 5y ago
        I've personally found it really good, probably better than Haskell. Not Go level though I imagine.

        The tooling is good, the ecosystem is where it's lacking.

      +1 After learning OCaml & experiencing algebraic data types and pattern matching, writing in other languages just makes me want to switch to OCaml

      OCaml will be a viable alternative when multithreading works, hopefully soon.

  Or Kotlin, KOlang.
