This doesn't quite make sense to me because Haskell and Go are kind of polar opposites. Also many would say you are describing Haskell98 I think.
- hutrdvnj 5y agoMaybe think of it like: What if Haskell and Go had a child?
- speed_spread 5y agoSomething like native F# ?
- shirogane86x 5y agodisclaimer: I'm a haskell user who has worked professionally with F# for 3 years I don't think something like native F# would fit Haskell's niche: Haskell's type system is a lot more complete (and complex, by virtue of cruft and necessity) than F#'s. F# also has a lot of object oriented stuff which Haskell doesn't have (by design, i'd say). Maybe purescript or idris if they had more mature native compilation targets would come closer, but even those are strict (while Haskell is lazy) and laziness by default is a big thing that sets Haskell apart from virtually any other language in use.

- xvilka 5y agoF# is too restrictive and poor in terms of types and syntax. OCaml would make a better option as the Haskell "successor". Though, personally I don't think it will ever happen.
