I want off Mr. Golang's Wild Ride [1] is a great read. The part about how different OS file permissions are handled in Go vs Rust is great. Even though I don't know Rust, I thought the Rust approach looked easiest since it's accurately represents the underlying systems. It was really surprising to see that Go's motivation in glossing over the complexity is to keep things simple. Is a half working implementation really simpler?
