Most of C's issues were directly addressed in Go as well. Only, Go did away with manual memory management.

C never had the philosophy of keeping things simple through the years. If it did, we would not have time traveling UBs to begin with. The lauded simplicity and explicitness comes directly from Go, where the philosophy was crystalized and preserved very early on.

You might say it is semantics, to call improving upon C being a derivative of Go (with manual memory management). You would be partially correct, it is semantics, but one that holds up very well if you look at how languages developed over the decades.
