Completely agree. For me, my primary consideration is developer sanity. A subtle compromise between speed, ease, and clarity. I don't program in Node or Python anymore because while it has ease, clarity is completely missing. I used Rust for 6 months or so and while it has speed and clarity, the ease was just not there for me. Go hits a nice sweet spot for me.
I think if Rust managed to improve ergonomics more and more it would really nail the sweet spot. But, there's still work to do.
