It whooshed right past your head.

Go is stone cold simple to pick up. ITs simple to reason about. I can decompose a project and spoon feed it to a JR engineer and they can get through it.

Rust is none of those things.

Its great for low level stuff, it is in the kernel right next to C and go will NEVER be there. Why, because that is what rust is good at.

Again I like rust. Crates being colored (as in functions), the shitty compile and tests times... these are things that are holding back rusts adoption in more places... None of this stuff is on the road map to get fixed, it's quite the glass house you have.

Go is going to replace a fair bit of python/ruby in the next few years... Is it going to be rust or zig that eats into c/c++? If the rust community keeps on the way it has been, zig will eat all the core apps we depend on.



Looking forward for AI research in Go taking over the world.

Zig is a Modula-2 (1978), with C like syntax, with added compile time, still has use-after-free, and a community that seems ideologically against binary libraries.

Good luck making it relevant, I am not buying into Bun ever taking over node.
