In practice...
What's great about it?
What's bad about?
As a brainlet, I like it. It's like dumbed down C but running at higher level.
I hear it is good for concurrency.
> garbage collector
What kind of systems programming language is this?
>>60865488
Not the firmware kind

A GC-flavored C that has all of the drawbacks of C with none of the benefits.
You get pointers, but no pointer arithmetic, because the architects thought you're too retarded to handle them.
It's only saving grace is it's native networking libraries, which makes it good for writing web application backends and nothing else.

>C with none of the benefits.
Basically it's C but easier to program in which is important if you're into rapid prototyping faggot
>>60865605
simpler != easier, simpler is far more important
python is easier than go, it is not simpler, and that is why python is being phased out in favor of go by a lot of large companies.

>you are too retarded to handle them
generally, if you aren't writing in c, you are.
