Is it off-topic though? Go has warts and is plagued by poor design decisions, just like most software. I think it is worth mentioning those, and offering recommendations that don't have those issues, so people can make the best technical decisions when choosing a stack for their projects. It also may help Go maintainers in fixing legitimate complaints in Go, thus making it better. I've never used Rust, but I have used Go, and found certain things about it unappealing, so I'm interested in this information, and I'm also interested in Go improving.
