The article is laid out in a way that seem to only justify Rust as their choice.
Some points is plain out silly, like the spreadsheet with fully made up numbers such as
Stability Rust 5/5
Stability Go 3/5
The Recruitment points is even more biased, given the reality where you probably will find close to 50x more applicants familiar with Go versus Rust.
- thraxil 5y agoYeah, I'm willing to give Rust the edge on stability and correctness, but I'd probably put Go at more like 4/5. It's certainly possible to make Go programs that crash, but it's also really easy to make them incredibly stable. I don't think they're wrong for picking Rust. I really like Rust and it's probably a great fit for them. There's a good chance I'd have picked Rust for the same project. Based on their criteria, I'd probably see it as a bit more of a coin toss between Rust and Go though and I suspect they just picked the one they wanted. And that's totally fine.
