Nice try. C89 (or C99) clearly remains the preferred language for suckless software. However, when forced into typical day job developments to fund your well being, golang might actually be the sanest option on the table -- in order to avoid worse options such as Rust, Java, Kotlin, Scala, Ruby, C#, Swift etc. But the odds are, that golang won't hold up the clarity of C when it reaches its 30th year of existence. If you intend your software to be translated with low effort also in 20 years time, I'd rather stick to C to be on the safe side of things. Best regards, Anselm
