Difference between Go and Java, Java drives developers to write bloated code. Bunch of abstract classes, interfaces, fancy inheritance, getters/setters, OOP patterns, classes for anything and everything .. all in a different file. Norm

I didn't mean C is not fast or not faster than other languages. It's still the fastest one I believe. What I meant is undefined behaviors allow compilers to optimize in a way that would not be possible otherwise. So, it might be a

There are no hidden calls, mostly there is one way to do something. No exceptions, so you can see entrance and exit points of a function. There is no "abstraction" feature, so you tend to keep your code away from unnecessary abstr
