A transpiler that will implement index operator methods will be very appealing at first. But it won't be long before general operator overloading will be added to its feature set and the result is splitting Go to a different language...
The question is, what is best to the go community in the long run? To add the minimal viable set of features that solves the crux of the problem (I don't think this proposal degrades the experience for the "general Go audience"), or to throw in the towel and spin this off to a different language? Personally, I would rather have index operator methods and forego full operator overloading because of the huge long term engineering costs that a transpiled language introduces.
