Rumors from my colleagues put it into one class with C and C++ (which it is not), this is not true at all. Golang is not a low-level language, it is far closer to Java than to C (from an abstraction perspective). These rumors probably come from the fact that it has a small amount of keywords and control structures reminding a bit of C.</p>
