Yes, C++ and Go can coexist. Go code can call into C++ using cgo (requires a pure C interface) or SWIG. C++ code can call into Go code by building your Go code with -buildmode=c-archive or -buildmode=c-shared. Go can often completely replace C++ unless you have existing C/C++ libraries that you need to use.
