That is not really saying much. Depending on the domain you are in C, C++ can be (and are) much suitable candidates than Go and Rust.

The simple point is the "general purpose programming language" is dead. I am not saying there are no general purpose programming languages. I am saying people are going to use language X for task Y because we have the flexibility to do so now.

I'm going to agree on the Go part, but do think that Rust can beat C and C++ at their own game. I really do feel like it's the best of C++, combined with Haskell, and a really smart compiler. A lot of Rust could be translated back into C++ with shared_ptr and && references (the lifetime stuff at least), but Rust gives stronger guarantees about safety and const correctness.
