I don't know many (TBH none) c programmers that likes or actually uses go. The thing is that as for c++ if you are still writing in c is just for few reasons: portability (in terms of embedding your library) and speed. Especially the former seems very important.
EDIT: I know => I know personally or I follow.
- kaib 12y agoDoes Ken count as a Systems C programmer? Most of the systems C programmers I know, who admittedly work on large distributed systems, like Go.

- mseepgood 12y agoThe main reason why I used C over C++ was C's simplicity (actually C++'s complexity).
- baruch 12y agoI prefer to work in C over C++ (did both at different jobs), mostly does C but where I don't care just that much about performance (specific allocations of memory and the like) than I'm likely to prefer Go over C++. It's far nicer and I really like the goroutines and channels concept. I like it that much that I copied it back to C in-fact.

- georgemcbay 12y agoI'm a "C programmer" that loves working in Go.
- kator 12y agoI'm a 30+ year Systems C programmer who is really enjoying Go. Why do people make generalizations like this, Language wars are so much fun but we really do waste a lot of time on them.
