Is Go compatible with C++?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Not seamlessly. That's pretty much impossible given the complexity of C++. Go does interoperate with C via cgo, which can be made to produce something like C++ compatibility.

Another language that will be useless for ages, until different project will use it, just like dart and flutter, but this time it will be carbon and fushia, IG.

Doesn't impress me much, but then again I'm not a C++ programmer -- more like ANTI-C++!
