It seems every scripting language does duck/dynamic typing (as far as I can tell this applies to Koto).

I don’t understand why… inferred typing is nearly as easy to use while being more robust.

For me the biggest gap in programming languages is a rust like language with a garbage collector, instead of a borrow checker.

Rust has a lot of features that should be strongly considered for the next generation of programming languages such as

result/sum types

Inferred typing

Not object oriented or overly prescriptive with functional programming.

I think the closest language to filling that gap is occaml (I am not familiar with it).

I have coworker's that are more skilled in domain logic that can write basic self contained programs, but stuff like traits, OOP functional programming is a bridge too far.

I feel like a language that fills that gap could be useful, context is a manufacturing ERP system.
