@… @… There is so much right about this that I don't know where to start.
The only worry I have is that it sounds hard for someone else to create a competing implementation, and I think that we need more of that from our…

I'm surprised you say that Go is close to it, though; is this because of culture? I'm sure that Rob Pike shouting “don't do anything cle…

@… Amazing, thanks for sharing! It doesn’t surprise me that per-language approaches have been taken, and I would expect that if someone did this, it would be people who’ve already done it once, but niche.
I was definitely inspired a bit by Darklang.
