Relying on Go

Everyone is creating a new programming language these days, often one that's "like Go but with more features" or "like Rust but simpler". Solod, a systems language for C and Go developers, might look like one of those languages, but it takes a different approach. Go's tooling Solod is not "Go-like" in the usual sense, nor is it an attempt to "fix Go's mistakes". At the language level, Solod is literally a subset of Go. Solod reuses much of Go's existing tooling, including syntax highlighting, LSP, linters, and the package management system. Take this quick-start guide, for example: Quick start Install the So command line tool: go install solod.dev/cmd/so@latest Create a new Go project and add the Solod dependency to use the So standard library: go mod init example go get solod.dev@latest Write regular Go code, but use Solod packages instead of the standard Go packages: package main import "solod.dev/so/math" func main() { ans := math.Sqrt(1764) println("Hello, world! The answer is",…
