Can't disagree with you at all, even though I want to. I love Rust and I hate having to emulate enums in Golang but the speed of development becomes more and more a deal-breaker the more time I spend with Rust. I might just settle at OCaml, if at all possible. Or, since this is the real life and there are no simple final solutions, I'll likely just become a master of all three. But really, as much as I appreciate Rust for being super strict, I also don't think strict lifetime management is as important for many tasks (though it's a life-saver for some).

Yeah, I 100% agree with hating emulating enums in Go (particularly because there is no safe way to emulate exhaustiveness checks). Personally I haven’t found Ocaml to be any more productive (inadequate libraries, poor tooling, constant futzing with multiple std libraries), but maybe I didn’t commit to it for long enough? That said, I’m starting to do a bit more systems development so I’m excited to dabble a bit more in Rust.
