I don't know Rust but Go:
* Go is an extremely productive language
* It doesn't have all the fancy cool features other languages have
* The community is huge and it is easy to find libraries
* It has gained popularity faster than any other language I can think of. They must have done something right.
- tandr 7y agoI would agree for all of them. But, from personal experience - productivity dives down really badly the moment code base have grown in size considerably. Adding more people makes it even worse, since most of these people start to come in with a very fresh language knowledge ("oh, Go is simple, you can pick it up in no time --management"), and you have to babysit each merge request carefully. Which makes your productivity worse, mgmt adds more people, you miss things here and there, and code quality goes down.
