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)

There are several languages that compile to Go, trying to be a better a Go. Off the top of my head: XGo (https://github.com/goplus), Borgo (https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo), Soppo (https://github.com/halcyonnouveau/soppo)...

Checkout Borgo: https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo I also find that D is good between language. You can do high level or low level whenever you need it. You can also do some inbetween systems programming in C# if you don’t care about a VM or msft.

You want https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo, but that project is dead. You might be interested in Gleam?

There is borgo https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo but it's not yet mature and not being actively developed

Borgo could be that language for you. It compiles down to Go, and uses constructs like Option<T> instead of nil, Result<T,E> instead of multiple return values, etc. https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo

There's Borgo: https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo I've never used it so can't speak from any experience, and unfortunately it doesn't seem particularly active (and doesn't mention a current status anywhere), and doesn't have a license, so shrug. When it's been posted here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40211891), people seemed pretty excited about it.

While I'm unsure about the efficacy of LLMs, I do yearn for language tooling that lets you 'Bring Your Own Syntax'. I'm someone who prefers TypeScript, Java, and Zig's syntax and genuinely, genuinely struggles with Go, Crystal, Kotlin's syntax. Whoever came up with := versus = needs to stub their toe at least once a day for the rest of time. But if I could write code for Go using a different syntax, I'd write way more Go code. I feel like that's what petlangs like Borgo (https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo) and AGL (https://github.com/alaingilbert/agl) are doing: making Go less goey.

You're not the only one who wishes Go was just a bit more like Rust: https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo Sadly, that project seems to be dead, but I hope someone picks up its mantle some day. A marginally better Go could, well, go far.

Go with sum type: Borgo https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo

Kotlin is very easily adoptable in existing Java systems and is much safer (although not guaranteed safe) Zig is fairly easy to adopt in existing C systems and is guaranteed null safe (although not use after free safe) Rust, although quite safe, bears a fairly high adoption cost as existing code often cannot be ported directly. Borgo (https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo) is a nil safe language that compiles to go, so is easily adoptable in existing Go systems.

I just want borgo[1] syntax to be the Go 2 language. A man can dream... [1]: https://borgo-lang.github.io/ | https://github.com/borgo-lang/borgo
