I wrote a PDF parser in golang a few years ago and it was an extremely unpleasant experience. No polymorphism means I essentially have to cast everything to void* aka interface{}. Rewrote it in C (the rewrite was quite easy actually) which at least made the lib accessible to other languages.

There's plenty of polymorphism in Go, that's what interfaces are for. In C you would typically use a struct stuffed with function pointers, how is that an improvement?

Its still a better C in many ways, strings and character sets is a big one.
