> Ignoring network effects and existing libraries

aka Ignoring the fact that it's easy to hire developers that already have widespread experience in C++, and ignoring the cumulative effort that thousands, if not millions of developers have put into writing and testing code that I don't have to... wait, why would I ignore both of those things?

If I'm creating software in a vacuum, such that I don't have to think about things like developer experience or time-to-market, then sure, let's say that Go or Rust is definitely better for many use cases. Very few people create software in a vacuum!
