As someone who was considering getting some Go and Rust under his belt, they've saved me a lot of time. This whole telemetry nonsense has ensured I won't waste my time investing it in Go. Great job.

Uh, what? The Go team introduced an idea, opt out telemetry with a one week delay before it was sent. Users said it wasn’t great, overwhelmingly. The Go team heard the feedback and made it opt in. What’s the problem, that’s a good thing.

People are naive, am sure he doesn’t know that rust has telemetry

I'm not aware of rust hanging any telemetry

Rustup was going to add it, some work was done, and then it was abandoned.

This was years ago. https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup/pull/1642

Interesting. I'd assume that the installer is one of the better places to get this information too.
