c was not perfect but probably it's still the simplest language to program a ram machine go is safe and nice: the common mistakes of c programs can be avoided in exchange it gives less control to the programmer (does not have the simple mental model of pointer arithmetic or c strings nor macros) and sacrifices some efficiency to have a few higher level language features (gc, interface, string, map, package, init, defer, closure..) as a bonus it has multi tasking support (go, chan, select), good library support and stricter semantics
