I’ve seen it replace Python and Java. In both cases, Go was a massive win from a readability and operational predictability POV. Of course I’m not talking about data science Python, which is hard to displace, but “microservices Python”, which I still have nightmares about. I’ve not seen it replace C++ so much - that’s Rust’s job. But a SWE with 2 years of on the job experience shouldn’t be writing C++ or Rust, they should be writing Go or something equally hard to mess up. (Rust might be safe, but it gives you enough power to write truly unreadable code, just like C++ does.) The two languages are in different niches, and I am curious why they get compared so much. I write Rust and Go, and for the stuff I work on, they almost never overlap.
