You&#x27;re free to argue that, but it&#x27;s still fair for everyone to concede that there&#x27;s a difference in friction between &quot;I can do what I need, now&quot; and &quot;I have to wait for the language core to add features trailing discovering of these niche needs&quot;.<p>Also, the subject&#x27;s been raised before, and regrettably (IMO) the proposal rejected.  As a result, you&#x27;ll find a nontrivial amount of C appearing in e.g. the runc project.  (Which is a crying shame, because it invoking cgo means runc ceased to be trivially reproducibly buildable, last time I checked...)
