So...it's worth keeping in mind that some of the creators of go are some of the same people who helped create C and UNIX (Rob Pike and Ken Thompson, specifically are two of the three founders of go). They have earned the right to "hubris". And, if they believe they've made a better, easier to debug, more fun language than C (and they do believe that, as it's clear based on their own discussions of the language), I don't think I'd feel any right to argue with them.
