I wrote Go for about 6-8 months and having to do so much stuff run-time when I wanted the guarantees of compile-time started grating on me along with generics and the type system being stringly typed. I found Haskell shortly thereafter and that is where I currently stay ;)

Well, I wouldn't say I have to do "so much" run-time, only when I'd like to write a generic library, and in that case I make a judgment call whether I want to write type-specific functions or type casts. When I absolutely have to, I just apply C polymorphism techniques. Stringly-typed in what sense?
