For all the benefits of higher-level languages. Remember that the designers of C had to agree on every feature that went into Go: a language they co-designed for better programming experience & results. Wirth-style languages also compile ultra-fast for quick iterations.

My question is really why not choose something really higher level ? Go is like stuck in the middle. If I need very low level, I'd choose rust. If I need high level, I'd choose Python. Go is kinda filling a weird niche between the two and I rarely find a case where I feel like it's the best choice.
