I'd kill for them adding support for structurally typed, non-nullable immutable tuples and records, destructuring, and pattern matching. This would make sharing data across channels much safer and seems like it could be implemented with minimal syntactic changes. I envision something like the following.

    //full-blown tuple support
    var person (string, string) = ("John", "Doe")

    //records are just tuples with named fields, but can use existing struct access syntax.
    var point #{x: int, y: int, z: int} = #{x: 1, y: 2, z: 3}

    //due to structural typing, we can just use a type alias
    type Person = (string, string)
    type Point = #{x: int, y: int, z: int}

    var person Person = ("John", "Doe")
    var point Point = #{x: 1, y: 2, z: 3}

    //or just infer
    person := ("John", "Doe")
    point := #{x: 1, y: 2, z: 3}

    //destructure
    fname, lname := person
    
    //destructure record/tuple
    {x, y, z} := point

    //destructure array or slice (c is always slice)
    [a, b, ...c] := myArray

    //pattern matching on tuple
    switch person {
        case ("John", "Doe"): //do exact match
        case ("John", _): //only match first name
        case (fname, lname): //use new variables
        default: //this is the same as `case _:`
    }

    //pattern matching on record or struct
    switch point {
        case {x, y, 0}: //do stuff with variable match
        case {1, 1, 1}: //do stuff with exact match
        default: //do stuff
    }

    
    //same style of error handling with more flexibility
    switch getPointWithPossibleError(point1, point2) {
        case (_, {type: "error1", msg}): //handle error 1
        case (_, {type: "errorN", msg}): //handle error N
        case ({x, 0, 0}, _): //handle exceptional case
        case ({x, y, z}, _): //handle default case
    }

I love go but im annoyed they didn't choose angle brackets for the syntax. It's illogical to be annoyed at this, i know, but it feels like being different just for the sake of being different.

Is it possible to compile my local Go code with generics?
