Sure, in day-to-day work people use what they have until they 
need to start over. How is the landscape going to unfold? What 
languages would you consider for a from-scratch scientific 
library? Same thing with Swift, what languages will you consider 
for cross platform mobile development in a year or two?

Interestingly C++'s position has been strengthened within Google 
in the last few years, according to Chandler Carruth, so it does 
not look like Go will driven towards replacing C++? But, it 
probably has a solid position for smaller scale servers. I 
personally hope Google will adopt Swift. And I think that would 
be a better strategy for Google than pushing Go, Dart and so on.
