I don’t think launching Go today would have been better than 15 years ago.

Standard ML is a perfect programming language from the 90s. It unfortunately does not have a great eco system of packages.

I mean one thing frontier models are really good at is porting code with pretty low level of supervision. Provided there are enough fans porting packages from other ecosystems should not be a big challenge.

> I like to imagine that one day we'll have a language that launched with all the features languages eventually add.

Don't most languages on the heap of languages nobody uses fulfill that?

No thanks. Reduced feature-set is the appeal.
