It's a decent joke, but one of the reasons I only took up Go almost a decade after it got started was that I wanted to invest on a stable language ecosystem that wasn't after the fad of the week (like certain runtimes we all know).
I'm actually looking forward to Rust having a few more years under its belt so I can do more than experimentation with it (and yes, I've seen the Oxide stuff, and there is plenty we can call stable right now -- I just want it to be a bit more weathered...).
The weathering on the two languages seems fairly similar.
In fact it could be argued that Rust is more stable. Golang is talking about a breaking Go2, Rust has a fairly good forward compatibility story and plans.
I don’t think there’s any plan for a Go 2. I’m willing to bet we won’t see one in the next 10 years. The main feature that might have required breaking changes (generics) was introduced successfully without any breaking changes.
Rust has no plans for 2.0 either.
Both are stable languages that have been making steady progress.
