C is the new C. Go is only going to replace C like Java was going to replace C.

C is hardly used in the enterprise space as it used to be in the 90's.

Even when C like performance is required, C++ is actually used instead.

The three major C compilers (gcc, clang and VC) are all written in C++ nowadays.

>>Java was going to replace C.

In the enterprise world Java did that - even high frequency trading applications have been Java based for quite some time. Compared to 20years ago, there is significantly less C code nowadays.
