go vs rust:

go: easy to read, concise, many good texts on making use of good names, and consistent layout due to gofmt, and no macros because of how they complicate static analysis and symbol mappings

rust: hard to read, ugly, and no consistent layout enforcement or culture, and macros

go: uses a GC so for most small pieces of code it is not polluted with memory management annotations or allocation/free operations, no immutable types except the stupid strings, which should be abolished anyway, friction is low for your early stages of learning

rust: uses an arcane, hard to learn semi-automatic garbage collection scheme that requires you to pollute all your code with these annotations, that will prevent you from finishing a basic next-after-hello-world program before 2 months from starting with the language

go: designed by two of the most important people in the history of operating systems and programming language, Rob Pike, who invented Newsqueak that enabled concurrent programming and designing software as a production line and easy, lightweight threads, and Ken Thompson, who invented the language B and was heavily involved with the development of unix

rust: invented by Graydon Hoare, while he was working at Mozilla, who went on to sponsor it and fund an aggressive campaign of popularising it that seemed to really hit the spot getting shitcoin projects to adopt it, especially, and now is the most popular language for shitcoin devs, and mozilla, a company who in contrast to google, who is just as much a spook front (mozilla is netscape btw) do not shove DRM down the throats of users with a non-disableable nag for DRM widevine that literally stops you being able to screenshot your entire display when one of these pieces of shit is being painted on a window on your display, as opposed to chrome, which does not force this on you or nag you to enable it

Go is the product of the work of guys who have been doing production software development for 40 years, versus this new language from some rando sponsored by a company that doesn't see a problem with DRM

Rust is a product of the same people who brought us javascript in the browser and the dumpster fire of security that is the web-browser-as-app-runtime, and its compilation times nearly reach the heights of C++ as well as the compilation memory usage, and until they introduced cargo, which is basically the Go tool for rust that manages compiled object caches and source repositories... AND the cargo has a centralised registry that is under the control of Spookzilla whereas Go, google runs a proxy cache that is used by default, but the hosting of your code is only centralised by the DNS system, and requires no procedures or other complex namespace hoops to jump through

plus, Google doesn't try to push everyone else to use it, they more than sufficiently benefit from using it to develop much of their own infrastructure, and Docker and Kubernetes both are built on Go and run half the internet

lastly, rust users are rabid cult drones who are constantly bragging about how they built their thing in rust, a brazen vanity that you don't see anywhere near as much with Go devs

I hate rust, and i hate everyone who loves rust, you can all GFY
