> Go was originally described as a systems language (which it never was according to the usual meaning of the term) Fun fact! Go has roots in the Limbo[0] programming language, which runs in a VM, is garbage collected, has communication channels, and was used to write the Inferno[1] operating system, which is sort of a successor to Plan 9 (which is itself sort of a successor to Unix).
