Borgo is a statically typed programming language with Rust-inspired syntax that transpiles to readable Go code. It offers algebraic data types, pattern matching, Option/Result types, and full interoperability with existing Go packages and the Go standard library.

Use cases

• write Go applications with stronger type safety
• use enums and pattern matching instead of Go's limited type system
• replace nil with Option and error tuples with Result
• transpile a Rust-like language to Go
• learn a simpler alternative to Rust for backend development

When to choose

• you want Go's ecosystem and tooling but more expressive types
• you find Rust too complex but Go too type-unsafe
• you need seamless interop with existing Go packages

When to avoid

• you need a mature, production-proven language with long-term support
• your project depends on tooling that only understands plain Go source
• you need generics-heavy or highly idiomatic Go patterns
