Just that Go has 10x developers and projects that Rust has. And most Go projects are commercially supported while Rust projects are mostly done for free projects in the line of "let's rewrite X in Rust".
If you follow the money, there's where the developers are. And where the developers are, there is the success of a programming language.
If it ever was a Rust vs Go contest, Go already won and by a big margin.
I can't explain it very good, but I feel like a lot of weird people enjoy Rust and Scala for all the wrong reasons. It's like they enjoy the pain and want that pain to be inflicted to others so they push for those languages.
- actionfromafar 4y agoI agree with your premise, not your conclusion. I have resigned to rust eating the software world. It's not backed by anything, yet it creeps in everywhere. You can stop it, but it's hard work and if you ever has as much as a hairline crack in the Porcelaine, Rust will get there, eventually.
