C++ is better suited to lower level operations than Go, C++ can have huge control over the environment (allowing it to be run on bare metal with no OS) while Go is limited due to it using a garbage collector

If there was a replacement for C++, the best bet IMO would be Zig

As someone who knows neither of the three: Why Zig over Rust as a Cpp replacement?

Rust has its own issues.

Before the memory safety craze, Rust was hyped as a functional programming language, meaning it not only has lambdas and monads, but also const by default, which will force you to rethink all your programming decisions. Also no classes, so you do even more rethinking.

I don't just rethink my programming decision but all my life decisions every night. Seem like Rust is the perfect language for me.
