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.
