"C replacement" means a lot of things to different people. Go doesn't appear to be particularly suited for writing a kernel or drivers, Rust looks better for that. Beyond that, if we're talking about writing user space type applications, can someone point to some that need something particularly C like? There is a whole ton of C code that could easily be done in C, Rust, or go with relatively little downside. Not too many weeks ago someone posted linux coreutils in Rust and someone else posted coreutils in go. I'd be hard pressed to make the case for C over either of those, perhaps raw cycles performance is incrementally better.
