C is far simpler and smaller than Go. Languages are optimized for different things, depending on their context. They all have a place.

Mentioning Go is simpler than Scala is to point out the difference to OP, and to emphasize that trying out Go doesn't take much effort.

I am not denying that. That's why I said - Read and write some programs, and make up your mind.

Yeah, I like modern languages that don't need an IDE or other complicated mechanisms to get started. Go seems to have made a lot of good design choices too.
