>Objective-C is better in this regard

I would argue that's "better". As a result, Objective-C feels like an alien language for a C programmer. Although to be fair I don't think a core C programmer would move to either C++ or Objective-C unless (s)he has to (iOS support or legacy code). I think it is the same reason why C++ developers are not moving to Go anytime soon.

I'd gladly move to a language that has the syntactic sugar of C++ (STL, lambdas, modules, and many other things) without the complexity (templates, inheritance, polymorphism).

Go and Rust seems to have weird syntax differences with C and I don't understand the utility of those. The go function syntax looks a little bit hairy.
