Sure, in day-to-day work people use what they have until they
need to start over. How is the landscape going to unfold? What
languages would you consider for a from-scratch scientific
library? Same thing with Swift, what languages will you consider
for cross platform mobile development in a year or two?
Interestingly C++'s position has been strengthened within Google
in the last few years, according to Chandler Carruth, so it does
not look like Go will driven towards replacing C++? But, it
probably has a solid position for smaller scale servers. I
personally hope Google will adopt Swift. And I think that would
be a better strategy for Google than pushing Go, Dart and so on.
