Love this, definitely rooting for this to get big!

I think the goal is great. My dream language is something "in between Go and Rust", Go but with more expressive types, Rust-light, something along those lines. This seems like it is hitting that sweet spot.

Imo Go gets a lot right when it comes to productivity, but the type system always annoys me a bit. I understand the choice for simplicity, but my preference is different.

Rust is quite enjoyable, especially when it comes to the type system. But, kinda the opposite of go, it's a lot, maybe too much for me, and I frequently don't know what I'm doing haha. I also don't really need Rust level performance, most things I do will run totally fine with GC.

So Go with some extra types, same easy concurrency, compilation and portability sounds like a winner to me.
