This is happening already (although "happening" might depend on how you judge the progress of a project) : http://www.bitc-lang.org and http://www.coyotos.org Actually, if someone can offer an opinion on Go vs. BitC, that would be interesting to hear. I vaguely suspect that BitC takes a bit more away than Go (and vastly less than Haskell) for the sake of analyzable semantics. cheers -- Benoit Triquet <benoit.triquet at gmail.com> .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
