> Or that whole iota thing. What is the whole iota thing? For what it is, the iota design is really good. Languages like C and Typescript having having the exact same feature hidden in some weird special syntax look silly in comparison, not to mention that the weird syntax obscures what is happening. What Go has is much more clear to read and understand (which is why it gets so much grief where other languages with the same feature don't – there is no misunderstandings about what it is). But maybe you are implying that no language should present raw enums, rather they should be hidden behind sum types? That is not an unreasonable take, but that is not a design flaw. That is a different direction. If this is what you are thinking, it doesn't fit alongside the other two which could be more intuitive without completely changing what they are.
