> The only features it has regarding that is GC, built-in hash-table and type inference. No, the real feature is understanding that a language doesn't stop at the syntax, the tooling and the environment are extremely important: - unless you want to build multiple binaries in one command, there is no need for any build helper. - hack-compile-test cycles are really short, to the point you can run simplest go programs as scripts - go has its own package manager, allowing you to manage dependencies extremely easily (not technically specific to dynamic languages, but in practice often associated with them) (Note that I'd prefer if everything was managed by my OS package manager, but we're not there yet) The go creators (and community) has spent a lot of effort in improving the overall development environment, and this is a characteristic I hav

You should double-check what kind of projects are being worked on before saying that it isn't being used for non-toy projects :) I can list at least two off the top of my head: Q^3, which can render Quake 3 maps and will eventually be its own game: https://github.com/Jeaye/q3 Servo, an experimental web browser being written by Mozilla: https://github.com/mozilla/servo

Does anyone know if type parameters in Rust can be integers so that you could write vec<3> and get an optimized unrolled implementation of three dimensional vectors without having to hard-code as in vec2, vec3 and vec4, etc?
