Does go count as managed, in your view? (Honest question - I don't know go well enough to have much of an opinion.)


I'd call managed C#, Java, Go, Pythhon, JS, etc. Something with GC e.g., managed memory


Yes, managed languages are all that have some form of automatic resource management, regardless of what shape it takes, or a more high language runtime.

Using Go as example, and the being in minority remark, you will remember the whole discussion about Go being a systems language or not, and how it was backpedaled to mean distributed systems, not low level OS systems programming.

Now, I remember when programming compilers, linkers, OS daemons/services, IoT devices, firmware was considered actual systems programming.

But since Go isn't bootstraped, TinyGo and TamaGo don't exist, that naturally isn't possible. /s
