The "Go is like C" comparison never made any sense to me.

Go has a sophisticated runtime with transparent N:M threading and built-in concurrency primitives, Interfaces, garbage collection and a large standard library.

Go is only simple when compared to the other languages that sit in a similar space, like Java and C#.

C's runtime is UNIX, that is why we got POSIX.
