Well. I think they're very different languages for different purposes. It's trying to replace C/++, and in those languages you do have to pay a lot more attention otherwise you'll have the occasional use-after-free or unchecked memory leaks etc. They can be extremely problematic and for a human it's impossible to catch everything. Rust helps lift than mental load because if you're in safe rust then you knows the compiler will catch these problems for you. It also makes quite explicit when you're on the stack or heap. I also love the explicit mut keyword makes functions very easy to reason about. In Go I find pointers being used for three purposes, to act as a reference, to act as an optional (nullable) or to act as a mutable parameter, and it's impossible to tell which by looking at the function signature and I can't tell you how many bugs that's caused in our codebase
