I agree as well. Going from C to Go as still a newcomer to C, I liked that Go seemed to be more "defined". For example that there is one style and doing something like placing a bracket differently results in a syntax error. This is good for newcomers because different styles and philosophies about a language can quickly make one feel lost. For me, C only seems tedious because to every question I have about it, I will inevitably find 10 different answers, maybe all from different periods of time. And I understand that I can look at the C standard but there are things that it doesn't address. Also, venturing into embedded programming, you can quickly come across implementations of the standard libraries that aren't nearly as well-defined. So considering these things, I think it is a good "modern C" as long as you don't go too low level.
