I disagree as someone who was using dotnet within the last 2 years.

Also we are comparing go to .net not to rust. Go is much easier and faster tooling wise. It doesn't require an IL and doesn't have 2 decades of enterprise cruft with vendor lock in strategies baked into it.

I asked to read between the lines.

The experience behind each of these things really stinks compared to go. If you haven't tried it, I recommend it just to feel the ergonomics. I don't care for go as a language. The funny thing is, I find the tooling so much easier, better, faster than .net that even though I like c# more than go as a language, I would prefer to start a new project in go instead of say c# instead. It's that annoying for me. I've met several other people who are language ambivalent who feel the same way.

I could write a huge blog post about it with facts. I'd rather not though. People do what they like and I am not here to change what someone likes.
