golang seems like a trap to me - it attracts C programmers by being "C but slightly easier" but doesn't actually.... make anything easier or better in any meaningful way

@Terrana my thoughts exactly - there's no reason to design our languages around it

@lizardsquid memory management and concurrency tho

@k yeah but.... I can get those things in other modern languages? golang isn't unique for having those

@lizardsquid yeah but you weren’t comparing it to them, you were comparing it to C
I agree though, I prefer rust myself

@lizardsquid I haven't used golang, but I do feel that C still has far too much influence for anyone's good. C was a valuable and useful tool - 30 years ago. Now there's no real excuse for anything emulating the way it does things.
