I’m a novice programmer but guessing Golang is concerned with keeping things as bytes; arguably _the_ distinguishing characteristic of C. So it has a scanner like Java or C#, but you’d get laughed at iterating bytes not objects in Java. I’d also note Golang’s API is built for enterprises so it’s familiar by design. I’d enjoy to hear other perspectives.
