The issue is there are a number of Golang alternative languages. Solod has a lot of competition (from most to least GitHub stars): 1) https://github.com/vlang/v (Vlang) 2) https://github.com/odin-lang/odin (Odin) 3) https://github.com/goplus/xgo (Xgo, formerly Goplus) 4) https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo (Borgo) 5) https://github.com/mitchellh/gox (Gox) 6) https://github.com/MadAppGang/dingo (Dingo) 7) https://github.com/ivov/lisette (Lisette) 8) https://github.com/anzellai/sky (Sky) 9) https://github.com/halcyonnouveau/soppo (Soppo)

Thanks for taking your time to look at the repo! yes I have built so many applications and worked at startups/scaleups where different languages / type systems are used for frontend/backend, and very often we need to bring in schema generation like OpenAPI, protobuf/connectrpc etc. to code generate types/apis that can be shared between teams. But that's ugly and hard to maintain & scale. I love Elm's ergonomics & Go's simplicity, and Sky is really my serious take to bring 1 language for full stack application (well, at least to cater for most common application types). back to your feedback, indeed, the multi-line string is one of the things that bug me as well. They only surface when I start building incremental examples -- skyshop is a realworld like example which expose a bunch of issues & compiler limitations. That said, my goal is fo

Keeps saying "no websocket required" like it's a good thing. The JS client (https://github.com/anzellai/sky/blob/main/docs/design/sky-li...) seems to rely on long polling. Phoenix LiveView (the inspiration) defaults to using WebSockets because it's much more efficent, but falls back to Long polling if not available.

Very cool. I am comparing this https://github.com/anzellai/sky#tea-architecture with this https://harcstack.org (my thing) ... guess I have some work to do ;-)

at first glance this looks amazing! basically provides everything I have ever wanted in a full stack language. looking forward to experimenting with it. edit: looking through the docs/examples some more, it looks like javascript interop is fairly clunky, both because it relies on string concatenation to embed fragments of javascript, and because the string concatenation syntax is not great (and the formatter makes it even worse - see the example at https://github.com/anzellai/sky/blob/main/examples/13-skysho...) I would encourage you to at the least add multiline strings with interpolation support, and ideally add a small compiler for html literals.
