imo a very important aspect of a language is enduring syntax stability. Too many 'modern' languages lack even the most fundamental requirement of a solid Language Specification. Well done Go! And love or hate Java, that's what made it stable enough for it's massive and enduring success.
Go is the first language I've found as a worthy competitor. Sure there are some things I miss, like ternary, non-local return, and a few things I'm not so keen of like panic vs runtime exceptions. But I respect the designers choices, and I hope that Go 2 is a long way in the future :) As language choice becomes more arbitrary, and transpilers more common, personal preferred syntax / language features may end up being handled like code formatting rules. So In Peter++ I could then use all the syntax I like, transpile that to WASM or LLVM, and someone else working on that code transpiles it back into Gopher++ to make a change.
