Lately, the biggest complaints about PL design seem to be that they didn't take enough inspiration from ML-family or Erlang.

  For Go? The biggest complaints about PL design are and have always been that its designers ignored or discarded the previous 30 years of PL (theoretical and practical both) when creating it.

    Not just Go. But in Go a lot of problems could be solved by doing things the Erlang or ML way... then there's the new problems they've invented, like enforcing things that don't matter instead of things that do.

      >then there's the new problems they've invented, like enforcing things that don't matter instead of things that do. Never heard such complaints from users that have used it for a few months. I assume you are talking about unused imports and variables. Actually it helps a lot because it keeps your code clean and clear.
