After reading this article about Go vs Rust, I don't think I can use Go anymore. It's simply not well designed.

Oh sure, but getting developers to jump from PHP to Rust is a lot harder. Conversely, it's easier to get PHP developers to jump to Node.js despite all it's issues as well.

I mean, Go is still miles above scripting land. 75% of all the cloud computing projects are in Go and if you deal with micro services you'll find a lot of the tooling and systems are written in Go.

If you're using PHP, then Go or Java is much easier upgrade path than Rust.
