Most people would regards Standard ML as having some very sophisticated ideas in this regard.

C# runs circles around Go, imho. What is it you find better in Go?

  Go is limited. There are too many ways people in my company can fuck up C# code, it's much harder to spend time moving around letters with Golang.

    Sure, that's a risk. But force feeding everyone Go is worse. Code reviews would be a more constructive approach to the same goal.

      I can't code review every one of 150 devs under me. I can't depend on heroes saving the day. Heroes go do their own thing eventually.

        if you think you need to code review for 150 people or your code base will get out of control then it sounds like there’s bigger problems going on

        No, I don't think so - because I chose tools like Golang that do the job for me.

        I can see how that works for you, but I still find optimizing for stupid depressing.

java and c# are great choices

  I agree. I am using Java (and other languages) both for my day job and for side projects. Everything just flows smoothly and I don't encounter any frustrations or slow downs that can be attributed to Java the language (or the framework). Kotlin is also an exciting language that I have started to like, so it could be an option for those who dislike nulls. Golang frankly seems boring and doesn't have any features I feel is worth switching for. I do understand that others may feel differently and I respect that. My next side project will probably use a Java backend and a Laravel frontend with HTMX. I'm getting tired of React

It’s surprising you didn’t mention the most popular language to be invented in the last several years, which while having its own flaws, is superior to Go in all the areas OP listed.
