Side tracking a bit: I wish there was a popular programming language like Go with rust-like package manager, Python style syntax and ability to hack, compilable, classic (classes, methods), and fast. Or I wish Go had classic OOP and raise Exception methods.

Basically, I want fast statically typed python with better package management. Or other way to put it, I want Go with classic OOP and Exceptions.

You might be interested in Nim (https://nim-lang.org). I can't say that it's very object oriented, but it is very flexible.
That's awesome, I will check it out. Just looking at initial syntax, you just made my day!
Been using Nim for a few projects lately, absolutely love it.
This, kinda! But I'm after:

- Python's OOP, stdlib, exceptions

- Go's fast compilation and binaries

- Rust's package manager (never used but I heard it's amazing)

- Java's third-party packages & tooling

- F#'s expressiveness, FP, type system (never used it, only read a few intro articles, but it looks very nice?)

I'm tyring to move on from Python but finding it difficult to decide what to learn next.

> I'm after [...] never used but I heard it's amazing

Really? This is how you form your opinions?

Nope, I'm looking to _learn_ a new language, and I _heard_ it's amazing. I didn't say it _was_ amazing
