Perhaps if they were to remove the concept of nil in golang, but since they are all about backwards compatibility (which is nice to be fair), I don't think there's much change of seeing mainstream adoption because of how many existing projects will rely on default value in certain circumstances

I'd love to be proven wrong, but even with generics if you start using option types, it's going to be like JS and TypeScript where you'll have some parts nicely typed and others are the wild west
