Odd. I wish Rust had Django's ecosystem so I could do more Rust web stuff, and I do use Rust for "shell scripts" and basic utility tasks, not for the performance, but for the compile-time guarantees.

I'd much rather pay a little extra up-front in resolving compiler errors, so I can know I'm not going to wake up to something like a six-hour batch job that failed 5% through or slam face-first into needing to debug an exception when I'm already in a rush and stressed over it.

Likewise, I find Rust's syntax much more pleasant than Go's... probably because I can see that Rust's syntactic complexity means things that have value to me, while Go's is just repetitive boilerplate to make my time a sacrifice on the altar of dogmatic language simplicity.
