Sure, but that makes my point for me.

  Nope, because it is C => Alef (abandoned) => Limbo => Go ^ Oberon => Oberon-2 / Anyone schooled in compilers and language design knows how to differentiate language, semantics and implementations.

    Limbo was also abandoned, and go doesn't include most of its innovations. Hence why I explicitly said alef and not limbo. > Anyone schooled in compilers and language design knows how to differentiate language, semantics and implementations. I'm not sure what your point is. not one of these languages have semantic innovation—I suppose you could argue the `go` keyword is, but even that feels facetious.

      No it wasn't, the software reached production deployment to several customers from AT&T, and Vita Nuova. Alef never saw the light of the day outside some programmer offices.
