Hmm, that seems a bit exaggerated. I seem to recall someone on the Go team describing the rewrite of a server that was originally in C++ and became much faster. (Largely because it started out at a heap of legacy code that was neglected for years.)
That's probably pretty unusual, but the point is, just because it was written in C++ doesn't mean it's any good. Not everything gets serious attention from people who know what they're doing.
