Some history might help. Go was created largely as a reaction to writing server side C++. I have sympathy after writing but mostly reading C++ code bases. I swore never again.

I react in horror to the features being added to CUDA and SyCL to make them closer to C++.

I still hate C++ with a passion, grepping around in gecko is much harder than servo.
