Your comment is weird. The one making you deal with the little details should be rust, e.g go is garbage collected. Secondly, javascript + type annotations is typescript.

Disclaimer: I’ve never tried to write Go.

Memory management is not the only type of “little detail.” For instance, rust provides common collection operations (filer, map, find…) in the standard library. In go (AFIAK), you need to hand-write a loop for each. IMO, the rust version is takes much less mental bandwidth to write and understand.

rust provides common collection operations (filer, map, find…) Those are just standard functional methods available in most languages. Go indeed is noteworthy for it's lack of features.
Yes, of course. I just described it as a Rust feature because that was the comparison being made in the thread.
