Ask HN: Alternative to Go
2 by gnur | 4 comments on Hacker News.
With all the Go skeptics around on HN (not judging, just an observation), there must be a wealth of knowledge about similar (but "better") languages. What I like about Go is: - excellent standard and public libraries - fast compile times (hot reloading is awesome) - easy distribution by cross compiling binaries that have no dependencies Is there anything that has similar developer ergonomics as Go?
