I was under the impression that the Go compiler was written in C/C++, though don’t quote me on this one. My browser however is Firefox, so touché on that one.
There’s plenty of applications that aren’t critical enough to require precise memory management and where a GC is a worthy tradeoff for the simplicity that Go brings to the table, but sure, if you are interested in going super low level that’s what you are left to work with.
And it’s probably fine. If I had to pick between C++ and Rust I would choose the latter any day of the week but thankfully not every developer has to go that low.
Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong higher-level languages have a place. C and I assume Rust are no good if you just want to hack a simple thing together. Low-level languages are bad is indeed a hot take, though, and I’ve fully bought into the Rust hype, at least vs. C/C++.

So what’s your Go compiler and browser written in?

It’s either C/C++ or Rust, right? And the thing about Cu̎윈
