I've been using Go since 2013 and have 200K+ lines under my belt. Probably the same amount of work with JS/TS.
My business is APP development (marketplace, fintech, social networks and saas) ... in the past 3-4 years NEVER ONCE have I regretted choosing Go and in fact the opposite. My team is super comfortable with it, and new members joining can pick up the stack in a day. It's cheap & efficient on the servers and require minimal overhead.
Rust has its perk and usefulness, but for very particular, niche, software applications. It's not a productivity gain in backend app development in my line of business. In my opinion, Rust for app development is "extreme premature optimization"!
Deep down, I really hope Go's generics do NOT happen so the language stays simple and readable. The new propositions are worrying my team and we'll probably ban it in our dev process.
