Nonsense. A ton of code is still written in C/C++. What do you think runs all of that Javascript?

The C world isn't moving to Javascript, it's moving to Rust, Zig and Go.

Kinda veering a bit off topic, but I’ve always seen go marketed as a systems languages alongside C, Rust, etc., but in practice I’ve only really ever seen it used to developer high level web applications.

Docker and k8s, flannel, etc are all written in go and something I'd consider "systems programming" - I mean they have to do some pretty complex coordination w/ the kernel to do thier work.
