An unordered list of things I miss in Go


ke Go. I think it is a reasonable good language, and has some good qualities that makes up for its flaws.

The list is unordered, because this makes it easier for me to update in the future if I found something else, but also because I don't want to think too hard about giving each point here a rank. It could be done the Java way by adding a nullable type to the standard library ( JSR305), but the fact that JSR305 is considerd dead by many shows how difficult it is to do something like this without a major change in the language. And the fact that most people that program in Dart probably does because of Flutter (that eventually required newer versions with null-safety) is not a good sign.
