I don't think it's the feature-set that makes C++ viable for more situations than Go. In my opinion that's only because Go uses managed memory. That takes part of the runtime behavior of the code out of the hands of the programmer. This counts out Go for situations where you need precise control over runtime behaviour.

That said; C++ is a ridiculously complicated language. I don't get why people think that Rust is difficult.
