I've been working in Go now for over a year and its honestly made my day-to-day life as a software engineer enjoyable. What gets me down about working in this industry is toiling away on products only to never see them released or being frustrated by absurd compile times, poorly tested components and abstract cathedral architectures. I worked on large C++ projects for around 7 years and i don't care for another flame war about curly brackets or which reimagining of a string is more ascetic. I also worked in Ocaml and some Erlang and yeah while great in principle they lacked the out-the-box tooling and standardisation of practice that I absolutely love about Go.

If someone creates a ML variant with a day-to-day experience as clarified as Go then I will gladly jump on board.
