I want to love Go, due to my background in C and UNIX sysadmin, but can't. Rust does it for me though.

  May I ask why?

  This is an article about Go, not an article comparing Go to Rust. I'd say the same thing if the roles were reversed: don't start language debates. They spread like kudzu and choke everything else out of the threads.

    I wish people would learn that "don't leave a comment" is a completely viable and reasonable option.

    If HN adhered to this policy, it would be the most boring site on the web. Tangential, complementary and/or controversial conversation in posts is where some of the best content is. Comment police/gatekeeping discussion (outside of dang actually enforcing the rules) is probably the most annoying behavior on this site.

      Comment "Rust is better because I use it" does not make great discussion tho. It's just useless noise
