Anything. Legit no language comes even close in terms of how easy it is to git clone something and get it to build.

I'd argue Go projects tend to be easier to build since they require nightly Go builds much less frequently (I don't even remember a project that ever required nightly Go tbh).

I've had the absolute opposite luck with go. There's a lot of good things made in it but I prefer to not be involved in them. A nightly toolchail for rust is trivial to acquire to the point of it taking only a few seconds

Maybe it's better now with Go modules but the last couple of repos I wanted to contribute a few years back just didn't build. They both were relying on the master branch of some other projects that had breaking changes.

But contributing takes a lot more than just a working build environment.

Correct but getting a build environment easily is such a quality of life improvement.
