Go is indeed a lovely language (and my personal hammer of choice), but wouldn’t call it low level and don’t think it would stack up against the rust/c/cpp bunch. If you are looking for something more high level and are willing to accept the tradeoff of having the safety of a garbage collector vs the performance and access to memory you get with rust/c/cpp then by all means give go a shot.
