Because Go is being used by everyone from rocket scientists implementing consensus algorithms for managing distributed systems sanely to numpties like me hacking out utilities to migrate blogs from one engine to another. Those of us at the latter end of the spectrum migrate from perl to python to ruby to go to whatever is the most cromulent systems-glue language this year, and we like those articles.
Rust is almost entirely at the rocket scientist end of the market.
- kibwen 11y agoI'm not sure where this conception of Rust comes from. I'm just as much of a numpty as you are, slinging Python and Javascript and really, really bad PHP by day, and yet Rust is what I do for fun. It's the systems language that makes systems programming accessible to those of us who don't have a lifetime to devote to memorizing all the ways a C program can explode in your face.
