I would disagree. Rust and Go occupy very different spaces. This is like saying "skip the car, take a rocket ship." Sure, Rust will go faster in some circumstances, but it's a hell of a commitment.

- nivertech 7y agoI think the main takeaway for me from watching the YC Startup School videos was that doing a unicorn-scale startup vs a small business initially takes about the same effort for the founders. So, why would you choose the latter then?
- olah_1 7y agoWhy would I choose a small business over a unicorn-scale startup? Can you explain why this question is relevant?
- nivertech 7y agoDeveloper investing his/her time into learning a more limited programming language is like a founder investing his/her time into a limited upside opportunity. The initial time investment is roughly the same, the expected upside is very different. Off-course there are lots of people who are using GoLang (similarly to JS) without learning it properly first, but in the long time it will bite them. In order to truly master any programming language ecosystem one need to invest at least half a year anyways, be it GoLang or Rust. Similarly some people rushing to start startups without learning entrepreneurship first and/or bothering to research the problem domain and their competition.
