My dream for Go, interpreted for fast reloads without compile for web development like e.g. PHP. Then compile for testing/unit testing/deployment.

Maybe not exactly what you meant...but you are not alone in your dream. Here's what i learned of: "Pushup - page-oriented web framework for Go" [https://pushup.adhoc.dev/]

Maybe [Yaegi](https://github.com/traefik/yaegi)?

Trying to make that work, thanks!

You might have just described dart/flutter.

Is there anything technical preventing Go from being like this? Besides the fact that nobody has put in the hard work to make it happen?

Not a leading question, I’m curious if there are any technical complications with fast-reload Go.

I've no idea, I just know dart has a built in JIT and AOT complier, and hot reload is, for me, a killer feature.

I'm an old man and the simplicity of Go is for me.

If you think Go is simple, I don't think you've done much with the language

Perhaps, but after 40+ years of coding I have seen many more complicated languages. But I did love https://100go.co/

I should rephrase. Go is simple, but it cuts corners which can really over complicate simple things that other languages would handle more elegantly. Struct tags are a perfect example of missing language features that require a weird post-processing step to get dynamic typing working.

100go.co is a great website! I referred to it a lot when learning go and It's my go to (pun unintended) for anyone learning the language
