Maybe you've heard me say it before: Go can be understood as an improved C that keeps much of C's simplicity but adds small, powerful features like interfaces and channels and garbage collection Go fixes C's well-understood flaws (declaration resembling use, unintuitive operator precedence, unrestricted address math, silent casting, zero-terminated strings, etc.) Go puts essential C idioms directly into the language (pointer/length is formalized as slices, packages are part of the language instead of just being naming convention, etc.) Go is mature, stable, widely-used, well-supported, and well-understood. C++ is a clumsy mess, but C is quite elegant and Go is a continuation/modernization/enhancement of that If you like C, you will love Go
