I’m not sure why sarcasm is needed. Go lost to Rust as the mainstream safe systems language, k8s is a meme for wasted engineering resources, obviously Dart/Dash failed in its intention to replace JavaScript (I don’t know what ‘Chrome APIs’ are).

Go lost to Rust. Citation?
Is one needed? Rust is in the Linux kernel, in the Windows kernel, and is used by the most active blockchain.
Those are some true measures of success right there.
Yes, those are incredibly important projects.
Despite ostensibly being a “systems language”. I see Go used more often for writing CRUD apps or APIs. There’s a lot more work in that then working in rust, thought I’ve admittedly been surprised with the amount of rust jobs I’ve seen.
I don't even know how to write a linked list in Rust... Dang! I'm doomed... :o)
