The point of the article is that the author doesn't like programming languages like C++ and Java and has therefore stuck with C programming. The question the author poses is if Go can replace C for him.
In general, Go isn't meant to replace C but to replace C++ and Java.
Regarding garbage collections Go has the ability to use unmanaged memory although I haven't had occasion to try that, so I don't know how good it actually is.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoGo is meant to replace C++ and Java for systems programming. They have no designs on implementing Go to do UI programming, for example, which is where C++ and Java are used more than anywhere else.
- EdiX 15y agoTrue, but I don't know about the "more than anywhere else" part.
