Do you think that we need another go-like language ?

Do you think that we need another go-like language? If yes what new features you want

I'm not sure what you mean. I feel like there are already alternatives to it if you need one:

• Rust which is memory safer and faster
• Go 1.18 and above now finally offering generics
• C# which is, at least for web dev, more mature

I guess the first question is: "Why not Go itself?"

If it's Go-like, but not Go, it should be for a different purpose where Go itself doesn't get the job done?

Well I just wanted to know about people's opinions:)

Good point

The first question what is "go-like"?
Does language that has totally different syntax but has dedicated syntax for channel and goroutine and similar stdlib like Go is "go-like"?

Odin has similar syntax with Go but it has totally different use cases which make it easy for parallel programming utilizing contiguous data structure and do array programming.

Hmm good point

Why do you need a Go-like language when you have Go?
