If you're second guessing yourself, then you probably have a skill problem. There is no need to be second-guessing. That said, I don't believe your claim. You're basically a resorting a "sour grapes" argument. You just like go. C++ has been incredibly successful. I've been a Windows application developer for 30 years and 99% C++. It's fine. I love the language I took a look at go a couple of years ago because people were singing its praises. I took an instant dislike to its syntax, symantics, and from memory some stuff relating to code layout. It's been a while. I don't see the point of porting a stable code base to another language for no good reason. I think a lot of the motivation is based on an irrational dislike of C++ with an almost religious ferver. C++ bashing earns street cred.

 @NathanHedglin That's not true. Is BASIC better? Is Assembly better? Is Java better? Hell no. Java sucks big time. No. You pick the right tool for the job. C++ is the best tool for many jobs.

 @NoX-512 And except Java, JavaScript, Ada, Perl...

 @zhamed9587 Java is absolute crap. What are you talking about, lol

@monad_tcp Then don't write highly polymorphic code. That said, I call bs on your statement. C++ typically runs at 200% Java speed. When our company moved to Java, our products went full bloatware and snail pace.
