Have you ever seen how many GCC has for plain old C?

Yeah, that’s a mistake too, and a big reason for why compiling C projects is such a pain.

Notice how I did not compare to C, but modern alternatives.

		I'll grant you that Go is extremely opinionated; that's its shtick. But it's an old language that started out with a 1970s design as a statement by its creators against modern programming languages. From its langnauge design, through its compiler, to its GC algorithm, it is intentionally retro (Java retired its Go-like GC five years ago because the algorithm was too antiquated). It may suit your taste and I'm not suggesting that it's bad, but modern it is not.

		Gccgo and tinygo do exist, with enough parameters.
