For the gophers out there... Just a reminder: a bunch of consts + iota isn't an enum. Slugs aren’t enums. Interfaces, structs, and switch statements aren’t enums either.
Enums are enums.
Scala went through the same BS for what felt like a gazillion years.Just add a proper enum to the language. Go really needs a proper sum type. Don’t wait until Go v3 like we did in Scala.
"Simplicity" here is creating extraordinary levels of complexity.
