Not sure if rhetoric question only, but Go has the expressivity of C. Let’s not compare it to python that is often textbook pseudo code like.

If the “expressivity of C was such a wonderful thing why was Go even needed? Why was Java & J2EE promoted to enterprise development?

Might it be that coding in C was and is hard and further that memory management pointer issues and more led to unstable code?

I wrote my comment as a negative — C is terribly inexpressive, just as Go.
