I thought the mission was to replace C++ for a many things at Google. You can't really lose to someone you are not competing with. The choice of managed memory is a pretty obvious hint that Go isn't a general direct competitor to C/C++. And neither Zig nor Rust have replaced C++ to any meaningful degree. Nearly everywhere it would count I still will have to deal with C++ for years, if not decades, to come.
