Not what I would call a well-reasoned or data-driven argument. Have you
tried gccgo?

BTW Go does not have coroutines.

Clearly you live in a Windows world. I don't have a licence to go there.
Nor the finance.

In the Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, Emacs, VIM universes, C++
support is hideous especially when templates are involved. Support for
Java, Kotlin, Go, Ceylon, Groovy, JRuby, Jython, Python is huge in
comparison.

Isn't it the case that #include leads directly to uncontrollable
compilation times?
