Sure C++ can do what Go and Rust do. In fact any language that is turing complete can do anything that any other turing complete language can do. It just matters how easy to do it and how the syntax is. It's all about warts, and C++ has a lot of them.

Is it just me, or could the author know only Go and Rust from their Wikipedia entries?
It's not just you. This made me laugh: "Let us think about the big ideas behind Go: It is simple, clean and has garbage collection." Enough said, really!

False. Or how exactly are you surfing the web with your Turing machine?
