  Note, you can do this easily in Go, too: type Kelvin int type Celcius int func SetReactorTemp(temp Celcius) {} func GetOperatingTemp() Kelvin {} temp := GetOperatingTemp() SetReactorTemp(temp) // compile error

    You can, but it quickly becomes infuriating in a language without generics, because you have to repeat any data structure that you want to potentially contain different kinds of temperatures.
