You might consider yourself a C programmer but you'll see a push back being accepted as one when you look at Go as a C alternative. For a language to be a C alternative it should offer at a minimum full memory control and layout. The compiled instructions would map very closely to the code with barely any runtime related calls sprinkled and definitely not GC ones. Go is a great language, but vastly different than C.
