Seems like you need Go then? You mention you want memory management, type safety and proper abstractions, hence the suggestion.
Of course, you also mentioned C's syntax as awkward for you, so you might feel the same with Go's syntax.
- xyzzy4747 4y agoGo is not a fast language compared to C/C++/Rust. It’s more in line with Java as it’s also garbage collected.
- kretaceous 4y agoThat's fair. Go is not as fast and cannot manage resources as well as the languages you mentioned.
- Tozen 4y agoGo, despite using GC, is still a compiled language. From what I've seen (including various test results), Go is usually faster than Java. There is also the issue of, what is fast enough? A lot of times, people don't really have the speed requirements they say or think they do. To include the code they have written, could be better optimized. It's often better to be more specific about what the requirements are, before making blanket statements about a language not being fast enough. Clearly, many people are fine with how fast Go is.
