Exactly! We are spoiled for choice. And Go and Rust are kind of appealing to totally opposite audiences who want the same thing: a fast binary. Rust is a complex language with a lot of features, making it very difficult to master. Go is at the very other end of the spectrum: very simple language, very few features, really easy to learn and write. Some people like one, some people like the other: it's great that we have both, so both kinds of people can write fast software!! Sure, Rust is faster, I don't think anyone will argue against that, but Go is still plenty fast and lightweight. So I am really glad my only choice are not only C++ and Rust, and that Go exists (as well as OCaml, Java, Kotlin, Dart, Haskell, D, Zig, they all have something going for them and people who get attracted to their ethos which just expands the number of people who can produce something using a language they can relate to!). |
