I get the problem, but I don't think experienced C++ developers should pamper inexperienced (or unwilling to learn) C++ developers by avoiding features that are considered best-practices. Template programming with Boost.MPL? Sure, I regret every time I used that - I've gained little, and very few developers will be patient enough to learn how to maintain this code. But avoiding std::move() and and R-values just because other developers may get confused? By all means, if your developers are unwilling to learn modern C++, use Go - it's easier to learn. I agree that's it particularly well geared for any network IO-heavy server. C++ can give you better performance, but it probably requires 5 times the effort.
