Fair points, but this glosses over some of the not-great parts. Cargo isn't great. No sanctioned formal spec isn't great. Compilation times aren't great. Messing around with wrapping foreign types can be a bit of a bear sometimes.

It's a fine language, just like all the others. I'd rather write a web server in Go and a use C when targeting a micro-controller.

Almost reminds me of a quote I heard about python a long time ago: python is the second-best language for everything, and the "first-best" for nothing.

Sure, and that's probably because you are good with both Go and C. for me, I use rust as the hammer, and everything is a nail. Hobbyist vs Employee I guess

No, it’s for the reason you said. Not everything is a nail.
