I was with you until your last paragraph:
> Rust is a systems programming language with a focus on security and performance, not a play toy for people looking to write small scripts.
If you're suggesting Go is a play toy, you're wrong.
- osd 10y agoI could see how this statement could be construed as inflammatory, but I don't think he was implying that Go is a play toy. He was implying that you can't make a judgment on the language based on making play toys (the toy IRC client mentioned in the article).
- mevile 10y agoYes this is correct. I do not in anyway think Go is a toy. It's a fine language. I love kubernetes and it's written in Go. A lot of people took that statement to mean that I thought Go is a toy and I didn't mean that, so I apologize.
