low-level

Let's say you have a company running a lot of C/C++, and you want to start planning migration to new technologies so you don't end up like COBOL companies 15 years ago.

For now, C/C++ runs more than fine and there is plenty dev on the market for it.

But you want to start thinking about it now, because given the huge running code base and the data sensitivity, you feel it can take 5-10 years to move to the next step without overloading the budget and the dev teams.

You have heard about D, starting to be quite mature, and Go, promising to be quite popular.

What would be your choice and why?
