Well, unsafe says it all. It's "unsafe". On the other hand, I never had to import "C" in any of my projects, yet.

However, if I'm going to wander into CGo realm, I can always pivot to C++, if speed or things implemented in C is that important for me.

No programming language, incl. a particular one which has an orange mascot, is perfect. I also find trying to solve social problems with technology (i.e. let's make programming languages foolproof to enable lazier-er programmers), pointless, to put it mildly.

Honestly, in my eyes Go is a very nice, little language, and I like how it handles.

In my experience, a typical project in orange-mascot language is also more likely to bring in a C dependency through a -sys dep than a typical project in blue-mascot language. (That might be changing with more RIIR, though.)
