Why Go and Not Rust? (2019)

Neither languages are my favorites, but between the two, I'll take Go any day of the week. I don't think either has enough technical advantage over the other to make me prefer one on technical grounds, so for me it's just about how much I enjoy working in the language, and I strongly dislike Rust.

Kind've interesting that the author is now a big Zig advocate. Presumably he likes Zig for the same reason he likes Go and dislikes Rust - because Worse is Better.

I love Rust and you couldn't pay me to write Go (haven't tried Zig). It's The Right Thing.
