I also said it's a problem we have to tackle in the next couple of years. You don't have to start porting today. I write command line tools (and that kind of thing) in Go and it's a great experience. Go shines once you come back to an old code base, or have to review code you didn't write. Rust made the list because somebody already ported the GNU core utils to Rust (https://github.com/uutils/coreutils https://github.com/uutils/coreutils). Feel free to use C++11/14, OCaml, D or what have you. I hope we agree that C isn't the best choice.
