Go learnt everything from plan9 C and Limbo which are pretty much the refined versions of Unix, C and something being the core of Inferno.

It's pretty much good enough maybe not for operating systems, but ideal for network-waiting daemons. It uses far more RAM than a core written in C, but for something built for the future, in 2030 it won't be that bloated. Specially when were are seeing Electron bound aberrations and even JS ridden crap under Gnome and Windows 11 for trivial tasks.

Yes Go is an improvement over C, with Alef and Limbo learnings, and some Oberon-2 in the mix, pity that they forgot about everyone else in the programming language community.

Proper enumerations instead of iota/const, generators as language feature instead of callback gimmicks, generics still have a few sharp corners, the new Do approach, plugins half done, verbose error handling,....
