Ask HN: Should Go and Dart be combined into one language?

I know each was designed for different purposes and that they have different syntax. However, what if, they were combined into a single, unified language? Both languages are made by Google, have GC and are AOT compiled. C# has both classes and structs which are quite different and serve different purposes. Go-Dart combined language could mirror this and combine Go's structs and Dart's classes. Structs would focus on high-performance programing and classes would focus on more expressive and easier code. I don't know, if it would be technically possible. Combined super language certainly wouldn't be backward compatible with neither Go or Dart. But, this would give us: - one big ecosystem instead of two smaller ones, and - enable more code sharing between backend & frontend. This is completely hypothetical. I just wanted to toss out an idea for some discussion. What are your thoughts on the matter?
