C is legacy tech on life support.

By Go standard, all other languages are "kitchen sink". Conversely, I would argue that basics like decent error handling are not in any meaningful sense a "kitchen sink" thing.

C is still #4 on TIOBE, right behind Java, so that is not at all true.

Go is good because it’s not like the other languages.

It should stay not being like them, not try to be more like them.
