Think of Go as a better Python and Rust as a better C. Which type of programming do you do more?
Rust is harder to learn but solves some harder problems and arguably you'll learn more valuable concepts as a result.
- sullyj3 8y agoI think that anyone using even intermediate Python features is going to find moving to Go a bitter pill to swallow. In what sense is Go a "better Python"? My impression of Go is that it (by design) is extremely minimalistic, leading to simple, verbose code, that is understandable by the lowest common denominator, allowing large scale collaboration. And also it has good concurrency.
