What I want is OCaml without people complaining about concurrency (which I suspect is mostly FUD - how many people who choose go "for performance" actually profile their programs? I get the sense there is this group of people who think any high-level language is inherently as slow as Python). Or Haskell without laziness (maybe Idris will eventually become this?), and perhaps with a lower-friction approach to I/O. Or Scala with native compilation (again I think complaints about this are probably mostly FUD, but if nothing else the JVM startup latency is real). Or any of these three getting the hype that Go gets, tbh.
Is it all just about the hype? Write code, ship products.
But yeah, I'm writing and shipping in Scala, and life is good, I shouldn't care about people hyping what I don't like.
