As someone who programs in both Rust and Go, I wish that Rust developers would put more effort into improving the Rust ecosystem than complaining about Go.
The tribe is the more important feature than the programming language.
C became the tribe of "systems programmers". Lisp rose and fell with the initial tribe of AI. Perl was the tribe of the system administrator and fell when they did. Ruby rose and fell with the tribe of Rails. Python is riding the tribe of numerics.
The language needs to at least be not actively hostile to the tribe, but after that it's pretty irrelevant.
That's incorrect.
