I wouldn't call Go a systems programming language. Having a GC alone sort of removes it from that category.

- mcv 7y agoThat sounds logical, and I'm no expert on either Go or systems programming, but I've often heard of Go being referred to as a systems programming language, and on their own blog[0] they list it in third place at 37% as popular use of the language. Well after web development, admittedly, so apparently it is more a web development language than a systems programming language. I was clearly wrong on that part.
