But you can get that in C++ if you really wanted to as well. I just wanted to point out that not having to worry about segfaults is clearly wrong. Go doesn't

But you can get that in C++ if you really wanted to as well. I just wanted to point out that not having to worry about segfaults is clearly wrong. Go doesn't really take any steps from preventing pointers from being null or forcing you to deal with possibly null pointers, or accessing uninitialized maps or slices.
