C++ is mostly in a different but overlapping use case these days, used for system software or where performance is critical. Go is still a niche language most developers haven't heard of and with no readily available for hire talent pool.

I'm not a fan of the language, but java has a huge number of developers, a rich mature ecosystem of software and is quite productive (enterprise patterns aside), it's a good sweet spot for most companies.
