I'm not forgetting. The make tools are not part if the language and irrelevant. Most C developers I know avoid extensions for portability reasons. The cruft part doesn't matter much for this discussion either, you can start from scratch if you want like TCC. The language definition of Go requires some things that C does not for any reasonable implementation. I think it is much more reasonable to think a C implementation will be much simpler.

- sausagefeet 14y agoThey are irrelevant to discussing implementation details of the languages.
