Hard agree here. Once people understand rust, not read some bullet points on a blog they start to understand how useful even the tooling is.

Only thing I'll add is. 8 times out of 10 if you are reaching for advanced rust, you are over engineering. Most software projects don't require it and when they do, you should always question whether there's a simpler more maintainable way or make a other design decision. There is no award for least lines of code, or most utilized compiler. Software is social.

That's Go's biggest strength over Rust and Scala. Good luck getting job security in that language. It takes a few years to really know what I'm saying but in my opinion it's the difference between a senior engineer and a non senior.
