That's where I gravitate recently. I got a few more gray hairs learning and doing async Rust and I love the resulting program's speed and correctness.

But it's not easy to quickly prototype stuff with. Just recently I had to write no less than 7 small prototypes and I gave up on the second one, relearned Golang -- took me an hour -- and finished 3 prototypes in a day.

I tend to go all the way in languages so I can use them freely afterwards. But... In Rust's case I just can't justify the effort. Golang really helps you start off a project faster.

I'll still 100% Rust. I'm working on it every day. But indeed, let's use languages where they are at their best.
