I'd choose Go and Java any given day before Rust. That language with C++ mindset is just... horrible.

They all have their niches. Rust is difficult but rewards you for your persistence. I do appreciate Rust a lot but nowadays find myself reaching for Golang more often. I simply don't have the extra time and energy to learn the final more advanced Rust pieces in my own leisure time so I'll learn it whenever I can but yeah, in the meantime: Golang to the rescue.

Language is just a tiny piece of the whole Cloud ecosystem aside from k8s, docker, different storages (elastic, rdbms, mongo), different monitoring/metrics solution, etc. I work for a company that is testing Rust and the complain was that the tooling wasn't there compare to Golang.

Well I don't know if this is a shallow generalization or just observation but in case it's the latter: I am a senior dev with too much stuff in my hands already, and my personal life's list of pleasures comprises of 2 items: sex and sleep. I figured that at 40+ that is VERY NOT OKAY and I am working to change it. So yes, I no longer will sacrifice personal time to hone my programming weapons. Or as we say here in the Balkans: "The quality of the music depends on the tip to the musicians".

      I was going to ask if you had time to look at Crystal since you are using GO and wrote about not using any scripting language but I guess you dont :)

        But I did, some year and a half ago. Found nothing that would impress me. Ruby syntax? Who cares? Compiled and with better performance? Well, what's wrong with Golang and Rust? They do fantastically well. I don't see what niche is Crystal trying to cater to. Other languages have better compilers and a bigger, more developed ecosystem.
