>> Simple is better. Stay with Go.

Ive been feeling the same, but as someone who just played with Go/Rust (and never professionally), it's nice to hear that professionals feel the same.

I mean, I'm a professional and I'd say "it depends" (as always), but for most of the stuff that I do I would choose Rust, especially if I care about maximum reliability. Go is statically typed, but I've had situations when there was a runtime exception in Go cause of a mistake that wasn't caught by tests nor code review. In Rust you almost never see runtime exceptions, especially with good linting rules. And thanks to no data races I feel so much more confident writing concurrent code.
