My mistake, I should’ve clarified. I wasn’t saying that all of them worked on each of those projects I mentioned. Just that between them, they had those credentials.

Go definitely doesn’t offer the optimization that languages like C, do. They sacrifice optimization for ease and readability. At least, that is how I see it. It’s a nice middle ground for those wanting to have more power but are too intimidated by C. Go doesn’t claim to solve new issues, rather better solutions for current friction points. Such as concurrency.

I’m glad you like C so much though. I am infatuated with systems level programming, but that doesn’t mean I love C. Go is great for me.

C has its own quirks, but it does not intimidate me anymore, so I'm fine with either. 😉
