So which language had it right from the start? is there a language that has a very low rewrite status?
I'd particularly like examples of statically typed languages that "got it right" (since I love me my types)
That’s whataboutism - no language is perfect, but given when go released it’s fair to hold them to a higher standard than languages what were designed 25 years earlier.
As an aside - D, Zig, Rust, even typescript got most of the lessons learned from C right
I think Elixir is a good candidate here. It's small, coherent, and composes well, and (at least to my understanding) the authors consider the language finished, with no new major features planned.
