Totally agree, misleading.
The syntax looks like rust, but esp w/the memory management model (reference counting), it’s going to have more overhead than rust when it’s running, more like Swift or at worse, Python.

I wrote: It has a garbage collector and goroutines, so clearly it is not trying to be a systems programming language.
Then ... I saw that it does indeed pitch itself as a systems programming language. So, I guess you both are right.
If Gossamer were to drop that claim, then I'd say it looks impressive to me. I have often wanted this particular mix of language features.
