It's not my intention to close the conversation but to try to make it richer by not focusing on the historical advantage that Go has over Rust. You are correct in that it's possible that not much more open source will exist in rust since it could simply fail to acquire any massive adoption.

I do think there will be space for both and I would prefer to consider them as raw tools, hence the language themselves, and take the risk of having a community in the future sharing libraries for common things. It's a risk but not a crazy one I'd say and probably helpful for the analysis.

Building on your reply, I'd say prove of adoption is one downside for choosing Rust. This however ignores the merit of Rust as a language which hints me into what I have begun to see more often: that it's the newness and relative absence of production use cases that don't seem to validate it viability, not some inherent complexity or downside to the language itself.
