C is infrequently complained about? Seriously? The thing with C is, it's been around for >40 years, so all complains have already been rehashed to oblivion. Dozens of "C replacement" languages developed since then stand as a witness to this. I find some philosophy of C and Go similar, BTW. Minimalism is an art.

Go is only superficially minimalist. Green threads and other threading primitives, built-in non-trivial data structures, inherent heap usage and garbage collection, etc.

  It's pretty minimalist, honestly. That's what everyone complains about, right?
