>I wish a language with advanced types like Haskell or OCaml would have the same tooling and ease of distribution around it that Go does.
I love the philosophy behind Go and enjoy coding in the language, and the tooling is a major part what makes development in Go such a breeze. Go seems to be consistently praised for its tooling and I suspect the developers of other languages are paying attention.
Having said that, I do wish Go 1.4 retained the Vim plugin that was bundled with the earlier distributions. I've had nothing but trouble setting up vim-go and its myriad of dependencies on Windows. The process was so easy before.
OCaml does have opam (package manager), ocp-indent (a code formatting backend), merlin (a code formatting front-end for Emacs, Vim and Acme), a REPL, a byte code compiler, a native code compiler, a debugger that supports stepping backwards, can integrate with gprof, has ocamllex for building scanners, merlin for building LR(1) parsers, etc. And OCaml's been gaining speed in the past years, so there's a lot of nice things to see there.
