Cool. Would love to see this for Golang too. Do you plan to add them for your Golang tracks?

Eventually, we would love to. In the near/mid-term, it's unlikely.

The reason we specifically chose Rust is because:

* It's rarely someone's first language, so we'll get targeted feedback from users with the right experience level

* It's a somewhat non-intuitive language and has "new/unique" ideas (e.g borrows), so the pain point is particularly strong

* It lacks learning resources (my guess is because the number of Rust developers is relatively small and there's higher barrier to producing content)
