As usual, lets revisit something that Pascal could do in 1976,

    type

    StatusCodes = (Success, Ongoing, Done)
Go in 2025,

    type StatusCodes int

    const (
        Success StatusCodes = iota
        Ongoing
        Done
    )

Rust did not exist in 1976.

ML did, however (1973), and had..... sum types!

Yes, and still doesn't change the fact that Go messed up.
