I'll say this as a huge Rust fan: If you're thinking about learning Go, just go ahead and learn Go. One of Go's strengths is that it's very quick to pick up, especially if you already know at least one statically typed language. You can get a good sense of it in a weekend, and then you can make an informed decision about whether you'd like to keep working with it or try something new. By comparison, even experienced programers take at least a few weeks to start feeling comfortable and productive in Rust.
- dcow 5y agoMake sure to write tests in Go before you decide. I liked Go a lot more in the honeymoon period after just learning the language before getting into the weeds of the amount of code required to ensure correctness. While rust takes longer to pickup, I strongly believe it pays dividends down the road.
