So does the security track record of large-scale java software ... The only conclusion I've ever really drawn from software analysis is that large scale software written by armies of programmers is full of security problems. As soon as the organisation stops investing in being the one that knows the most about the security problems of their own software ... shit hits the fan. Since security tends to be one of the first things to get "financially optimized" ... Go is (less and less over time but still not 0%) implemented in C, with macros. Let's not pretend this is an improvement over C++, because it isn't. The only advantage C has over C++ is that most C programs are far smaller than most C++ programs (on average, of course, there are exceptions). Oh, and if you think C++'s security track record is bad, you will find C's track record horrendous.
