I think your difficulty would be in finding interested users. People who like Go, like Go, warts and all. Everyone else has heaved a sigh of relief and decamped to other languages.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that I personally would be able to bootstrap this (and the tooling, and the declarations for existing libraries, etc) and have it take off But if I saw it pop up on HN I'd jump on board in a heartbeat Go has a lot of compelling benefits around compiling, performance, concurrency, etc that I think would translate. It just made a couple of really unfortunate decisions around null pointers and default values that turn a lot of people off. I think salvaging it from those unfortunate decisions would be worth doing for the right party with the resources to do so, and I think it would appeal to a lot of people I'm not even sure I would want generics to be added, since that's an elephant in this particular room. I just want to be able to have a mote of confidence in the values I'm working with.
