If I could add one feature from Rust to Go, it would be the question mark operator.

What feature would you add to Rust from Go? (The only answer I can come up with is fast compile :( )

Although its probably the wrong question to ask. It should probably be, if I could *take away* one feature from Rust to make it more like Go, since the advantage of Go is really its simplicity

Go on then... answer that one :D

It's a hard question! I think I would probably simplify something rather than remove something. E.g., Go's pub/priv system is better than Rust's, despite the galaxy brain syntax. It might also be nice to go *slightly* in the direction of Go in terms of making some things magic

So long as it's not too magic, one problem I had with my small amount of go hacking was realising where things were and what was going on. The casewise pub/priv stuff was one of the things which really hurt my brain.

Yeah, that syntax is terrible! But having just private and public and nothing in between (and simple rules for how that interacts with modules) is nice.
