> I think if you want to compete with Rust, C or Zig you want to have a rich standard library. I still hold that Go's success is attributed to the fact that you could build a web application out of the box, minus database drivers. The templating and web server is purely built in to Go itself. Rust doesn't seem to have that rich of a standard library, bunch of the official documentation asks you to add crates for lots of things. I find myself reaching for external crates for tons of things I'd expect to be in the language as well. I also don't think Go's success can be attributed to one single thing, but probably the biggest attribute would be that they are backed by one of the biggest tech company in the world, who have adopted it wholesale and would do so, no matter what, since they built and control it.
