In C++‘s heyday there were things such as OKWS[0] web application server. Yes externally C++ was no so popular in such situations, but at Google they had/have many such C++ services and that was the motivation behind Go - a safe language to build mostly-IO-bound-but-a-little-bit-CPU-bound services. Another example of this shift would be that Bitcoin’s reference impl (2009) is written in C++, whereas Ethereum’s reference impl (2015) is written in Go. [0] https://okws.org/ https://okws.org/
