Yes, thank you for pointing that out...

My point was about the need to rely on external libraries. I'm not a fan of that approach. I don't care for it in Rust or JavaScript, and I get a similar vibe from Gleam.

Agree. My dream:

Go stdlib and tooling

A good programming language

  • Odin?

    • Not the GP but while Odin has a syntax similar to Go, it has manual memory management instead of a GC, that's a pretty big difference.

    • I’d prefer a GC language with exhaustive matching on discriminated union types. Maybe “go + typescript type system + higher kinded types”. Swift is in the ballpark and would be a lot more appealing with the go tooling.

      But fill in the blank with your preference :)
