I'm a little bit tempted to make a simple compile-to-go language. I'd get lynched at Go meetups for fragmenting the ecosystem, but it might be worth it. I like almost everything about go except the language itself.
I would love this; I feel entirely the same. The runtime is pretty good, performance is nice, concurrency is great, the tooling is wonderful (if you ignore the GOPATH nonsense and thew lacklustre package management solution). The language itself is quite frustrating to use, full of needless repetitive boilerplate and a mediocre type system.
I'd love a similar language with all the goodies that I find make development safer and more productive: proper enums, pattern matching, sum types, generics, and a handful of other features.
