- Ygg2 3y agoAnd a GC.
- mfrw 3y agoI don't think the compile times of Go can be even compared with Rust or any major compiled language. It does compile extremely quickly; Rust on the other end lies completely opposite on that spectrum IMO. Although, both languages are "modern", both have their pros & cons. Although this may sound like a pink elephant, but I would really want something that has the guard-rails, expresiveness & performance of Rust with the simplicity & compile-time speed of Go.
- 3836293648 3y agoGo is not modern and has never been modern. It's an old language that just happened to be designed and implemented recently.
- yawaramin 3y agoYou are looking at only the language, you should also evaluate the toolchain and runtime. Go has a toolchain that most other languages (including Rust) can only dream of.

- mfrw 3y agoSure, thanks for the tip. I will take a look :)
- belmont_sup 3y agoOcaml fan here but don’t expect crazy productiveness as you’d find yourself in Go unless you know fp and aren’t doing a lot of web dev.
