Yes, I agree. I think it is likely that a future version of Rust 
with a little more streamlined syntax will take over for C++ 
unless some other language start to focus on C++ parity. And we 
are not talking yesterdays C++, but next gen x86 C++. That means 
4000 intrinsics, auto-vectorization and possibly whole program 
optimization...

But Go is a strong contender in the non-interactive/non-realtime 
space where people used to write programs in C/C++, but hardware 
has improved enough to not warrant bleeding edge performance.
