So we learn from others either way. With right mentorship and for right project, c++ incredibly productive. 3/

Also, our industry does a TERRIBLE job of evaluating true long term TCO. Again for right project c++ TCO is excellent. 4/

In the end, it's all about TCO which depends on team, project, tooling, libraries, etc. c++ not for many (most?) things 5/

But for some projects, there is still no substitute that leads to better long term TCO. end/

To be clear, no one claimed that programs written in go are better. I was just agreeing with diagram that learning curve is steeper.

Totally agree that there are places where C/C++ are appropriate. But those lines shift over time.

Agreed on both points. Mostly, I just wish we took a more analytical and less feeling based approach to choosing project tooling.
