Same but from a C vs Go perspective. Didn't like GC or bundling dependencies into the final binary. But at the end of the day it's still small compared to most other languages deployment artifacts. Despite being a GC language, GO still puts you in the driver seat for how memory is allocated (ie avoid GC in the first place). And goroutines are really nice to use, without introducing colored functions like most other languages do. To top it all off Go keeps the C tradition that error handling should be a first class part of the algorithm, not something hidden off to the side.

So I'm reaching for Go for pretty much everything now days.
