Of course you should try Rust. However I do not think Rust would have anything better on this issue. Here is Rust supported platforms[1]. ARM5 seems 3rd tier platform. It might work if one does the builder work. What people are asking is official support from Go team which Rust does not provide either.

To be clear about how the tiers work, we would like to provide better support for any platform, but that requires expertise and build machines. If anyone has an interest in getting a platform to have better support in Rust, please give us a shout, we'd love to talk.
Exactly right. I was just pointing out that piling on Go on this issue does not seem right when discussion on this issue mentions lack of reliable builder machines is big problem to maintain official ARM5 support.
