In many ways, it's about being the first to do something. I write a lot of code around DPDK for packet processing. It's a pure C library. I know rust has good C bindings, but I heard Go did as well. I started a project in go using cgo for the dpdk parts. What a nightmare. I spent more time figuring out the idiosyncrasies of cgo than actually writing useful code. And in many cases, cgo couldn't actually do what I needed to do. I had to write some functions and see inside of the .go file. I'm sure rust would have been easier to call C with since the languages bare inherently more compatible, but I don't want to go down that path again right now.
