I wrote plenty of vaguely web stuff in C++ at Google. A lot of services at Google are C++. But it's kind of, not how the rest of the industry expects things. And most of that stuff there is now moving to Go.

I run my own company, prefer to count money and Have no shortage of work - so could not care less about what "the rest of the industry thinks".

Go is on the same page performance wise with Java and C#. Sure, if you don't need the best performance, you can move to another language. But, then, why did you start using C++ in the first place?

I doubt pretty much that SAP and Adobe would rewrite their enterprise products in Go.
