- 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.
