Not arguing that. Indeed forcing type signatures helps the reader at the expense of the writer (who has the burden of documentation? S/He who writes the types).

I’m saying, to a person with less skills than I, it’s an almost insurmountable undertaking to learn Rust while Go at least seems somewhat familiar. They aren’t teaching these in universities I visit so new engineers might have a tough time grokking the syntax.
I prefer Go for two reasons. 1) It’s faster for me to get my idea across (this is my personal hurtle) and 2) Go’s concurrency model.
What I would like to try in Rust: rewriting my game engine. Building a hobby OS. Building a hobby programming language. These are areas where Go isn’t the best tool.
