That's certainly an opinionated opinion but Go feels like dragging C half-way to the 21st century. But unfortunately not all the way. Besides the very good concurrency support it doesn't feel much different than a polished and somewhat modernized C. Of course, depending on what you want that will be considered a feature not a bug. There's a reason so many C programmers jumped on it because even hardcore C programmers couldn't really ignore the language anymore. Also look at the project management. The drama about the package manager was hilarious bad PR. I wouldn't want to invest too much time into a programming language that can't even agree on a package manager and needs 4 different tries to arrive at a solution with potential security implications.
