Rather than entire languages, I'd say that feature adoption is more likely the better indicator. Like generics, first-class functions, lambdas, error-handling (I'm partial to monads like `Result`), etc.

If one wanted, they could put ecosystem tooling here as well (e.g. `gofmt` saving everyone time and mental health).

Also, to clarify, I'm not arguing that Erlang > Go, I don't (purposefully) use either, though I have to read Go sometimes.
