Have you found it to be worth it's costs? Does it bring to light anything compelling that might affect an official implementation?
Right now, it's not worth the cost. It saves some typing, and it expresses "data flows" more clearly, but it's not a 10x improvement. Go's func syntax is a big blocker. If I could write x => 2*x instead of func(x int) int { return 2*x }, Ply would be far more attractive.
