Your definition of hard real time is the accepted definition; playing movies and such is soft real time.
Anyway, about C: that's the point. People are trying to create safer systems programming languages that can replace C.
- cmccabe 14y agoI don't think Go is intended to replace C. It was intended to replace C++.
- scott_s 14y agoC++ was intended to replace C, so it's intended to replace both.
- cmccabe 14y agoLet's not judge the intentions of the Golang authors by what the intentions of the C++ authors were. Golang is a higher level language than C. It will not be suitable for non-GC'ed environments, and the Golang authors are perfectly well aware of that. It's ok to make a language that solves many problems really well, without trying to solve every problem in the world in one bloated language.
