The article is about Go, and while the article mentions other languages for comparison, Rust is not one of them. So traceroute66's comment comes across as starting a Rust vs. Go fight where not appropriate.
I think the comparison is totally apt and illustrates why Rust and Go get compared very often. They are both languages that compile to a binary, rather than running in a managed environment.
Doesn’t come across as starting a fight to me. Not even close.
