No, just the opinion in general, why rust over go? I know go is more oriented to distributed systems, but it seems like rust eventually will be used for that as well. And I also see golang being used to build just anything, like gopass for example.
- steveklabnik 8y agoAh. That's a more interesting question, for sure. :) I got involved with Rust over Go because if I'm going to use a statically typed language, I need generics. That was the initial thing, but other things ended up going similar ways (I think package management is extremely important, for example.) I think Go has made great choices to accomplish its goals, but I'm personally more interested in a different set of tradeoffs.
