I don't think Go was ever planned to completely overtake C++. It is still a garbage collected language at the end of the day.

I think the parent tries to refer to Carbon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_(programming_language)

I actually wasn't aware of that language. It was more a reference to the overblown claims Pike made in the early days of Go, where he presented it as the c++ replacement for everything Google.

Many people enjoy playing games, and video productions, written in a garbage collected C++ engine.

Go's main issue is its language design approach.
