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.
