I agree that Go is not an improvement over C#. In my experience the language ergonomics of C# are better than Go. I've done both in industry and am much more productive with C#. It is too bad that C# and .NET are often perceived as bad because of Microsoft & Windows. .NET core has a lot of really things going on.

Not that Go is a bad language. It has its place. I recommend it for embedded systems and as an option for systems programming.

Yeah I should clarify that Go considers itself to be an incremental improvement on the Java/C# paradigm. You could certainly argue that it oversimplifies things.
