This is not a critique of rust but my experience is that I needed to build something that was distributed cross platform as a statically linked binary. So, I narrowed my choices to Golang and Rust. I wanted to learn rust and was only so/so on golang and really tried. I knew this project would go slower because I’d be picking up a new language but as I was still being brain hurt by rust I peeked at go and it can get a little convoluted but overall it’s a readable language where I felt like I could start writing decent code within days.
Since it was mostly about building something for users and not just my own learning I had to go with go.
Not sure if I will ever learn rust but it would have to be for a hobby project or solve a problem for me that is fundamental to the desired outcome that go, python etc could not.
