I think there is room for an ML with a modern toolchain story that just omits Rust's borrow checker and does something more boring. Typescript and Rust have primed a large number of developers to be open to it.

this is kinda the opposite of what i think people really want. they want an LLL with borrow checking without all of the abstractions and baggage you get in rust.
Most of those abstractions and baggage come from the need to be able to represent and propagate lifetime constraints, though.
proc macros? Optional?

Isn't ReasonML pretty much that language already? Although the most popular language in that broader niche is probably Golang.
