On: I love coding in C

[_pd19]

I think it really depends on what you are writing. I built up a column-store database in C recently (not for production, just as a project) and while I can imagine rebuilding it in C++/Rust, I don't think it would be possible to do it in a performant way in Go.

Go is nice, but tends to be very verbose and also is garbage collected. It's for a different usecase.

Yeah I could have been more clear. Vs C, I use Go for productivity tradeoffs (strings, networking, etc). For performance I would use Rust.
