Isn't Go pretty much the modern C, with additions in concurrency?

No, not really. Go left a lot of C behind (pointer arithmetic for example), while also being garbage collected and having modules instead of header files. Coincidentally, while being touted as replacement for C and as the "language of the server", most of its converts come from python, ruby, and node.js evironments.

It's garbage collected. So, no.
