It is known, if the people working on that are confident that having C++ as core language is what boosted clang instead of having a clear separation of layers, good reusability and a clean API so be it. (Meanwhile gccgo and gold still has a good chunk of neat shortcomings making a good point that the language isn't a magic bullet) And we are discussing on how bend a C runtime to fit the C++ runtime. I do really hope Go will win more people and useful code and integration will come up to make C++ less important. lu
