Go... isn't really a system programming language. I don't get why people group Rust and Go together.
C++ may lose some ground to Rust but it may just end up saturated like Ruby, PHP did. Ruby is basically in steady state now. NodeJS jump in on a crowded market and got no where let alone it's crazy threadless model.
C++ btw have been pumping out new versions, C++17 was just completed by GCC and Clang is almost done. C++ is really trying to modernize.
Google whole backend is most likely C++... it ain't going no where.
Rust is a beautiful language but it still have a long way to go. And also resources such as books to help people jump on board not just general books either but books in different domain (scientific computing, data structure, web dev, etc.. whatever).
- emodendroket 9y agoPlenty of people are working in node, for whatever reason. Just yesterday I was reading someone on HN saying backend JavaScript is the only way to make any money. Not that I think he's right, but if there are people out there thinking that I figure it has to have healthy enough marketshare.
