What optimizations is Go not doing that Rust is that makes Rust vastly superior to Go? (Or even superior at all)

I don’t think it’s that simple. I understand Go uses garbage collection but that doesn’t automatically mean Go doesn’t do compile time optimizations or is poor at CPU bound work.

While I understand GCs add overhead I don’t think that in and of itself means much here

This seems like yak shaving to me
