I don’t know how to put it any other way, this reads to me like a poorly thought out critique from someone who might be happier using Golang.

  I totally agree. Literally every point is "what if Rust did this thing that bugs me the Golang way?" Granted, it's a sort list, but it seems like the patterns are precisely golang influenced.

    There is nothing wrong with proposing changes from what, in your opinion, is a better implementation or workflow. Most of every language was implemented somewhere else first.

      Sure, it's absolutely great to learn from other languages. I guess what rubs me the wrong way is every point is explicitly or implicitly the Golang way of doing things. There's no real representation from other languages. That combined with being a relatively short list makes the whole article underwhelming. Article> It's the fruit of my experience working with C, Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust and my frustrations with the latter. I don't really see the influences from anything other than Go here. Don't get me wrong, I love both Go and Rust, for very different reasons.
