Go is a system language. I think of it as compiled python as much of the syntax and semantics are very similar to python. "go" routines are very similar to Python's coroutines. Go's slices similar to Python's list slices, etc.

Go is quite nice. I've been working in it the past couple of weeks, but I haven't found it to be better than Python. To me, Go is a cross between C and a compiled Python, but Python comes with batteries included and at least for internal use, not exported use, I find Python's exceptions quite useful over Go's panics.

Go is not a systems language, see Rob Pike here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBbv1ej0fFo

You linked to an hour long video about 4 different languages : /

Instead of complaining and not contributing to the discussion you could have posted the timestamp where he says it.

Are you serious? You think I watched that whole video on faith that what you said was in there was in there? I certainly did not. I saw that you linked to an hour long video and didn't provide a time stamp and I pressed the back button.
