I get by without it Go enums are an inferior representation of the same logical concepts. Sure, I can have (kind, value) and cast things for a hacky sum type for some kind enum. But Go lacks closed enums/exhaustive matching.
You can at least validate the match arms with things like type switches and marker interfaces, but they're still not exhaustive and they're terribly verbose.
And, again, I can get by without them! But I miss them because Rust-style enum representation comes up _so often_, even if you don't like the rest of Rust.
