C++ is better suited to lower level operations than Go, C++ can have huge control over the environment (allowing it to be run on bare metal with no OS) while Go is limited due to it using a garbage collector

If there was a replacement for C++, the best bet IMO would be Zig

Afaik it actually was, the UK wanted to move more financial calculations to computers and it was a lot easier to use a decimal currency for that

There are programming languages with fractions in them, afaik many varieties of Scheme have fractions

Haskell, where you can’t even goto because it doesn’t really work that way

wiki.nixos.org is pretty good

The Linux kernel is already popular & vital to infrastructure, servers and Android exist

Emacs

Now what program on windows is going to be indestructible?

me when i connect to an ssh server

Yeah and even on many english keyboards it is used to show special characters
