Go for C programmers
Go designers have picked up a lot of good things from other powerful and popular programming languages from the past and the present. Go offers essential tools and mechanisms required for concurrent programming and comes out very strong on that aspects. After many years I really felt a real joy learning a new programming language. For a C/C++ Programmer learning Go will be a delightful and exciting experience.
