You got it almost right, I also do know C++ and .NET quite well. My fault for not expressing myself correctly.

However I find both your answers quite faire.

My pet peeve is more with younger developers that promote Go vs other languages, without knowing how rich they actually are. Or the alternatives that came before, lost in the mist of time, with similar features.

Nowadays I do find that Go is a good and safer alternative, for C programmers doing applications that can live with a GC.

For other backgrounds in languages with native compilers available, I guess we have to agree to disagree. :)
