Interestingly, all of those (except for automatic formatting) also apply equally to Rust. Maybe that's why there's such a "Go vs Rust" culture.

  Rust also has automatic formatting [0] I don't think the tooling is why there is a perceived "Go vs Rust" culture, I think that's due to (somewhat) overlapping use cases, or more probably that they were developed and came out around roughly the same time. There really doesn't need to be a "Go vs Rust" culture though. I think it should be obvious to most people that Go had a big influence on Rust and other modern languages for the benefit of having unified tooling, formatter, linter, etc. [0] https://www.rust-lang.org/tools https://www.rust-lang.org/tools

    It's my understanding that the Go compiler will format your code every time you compile. For Rust, its a separate tool invocation.

      > It's my understanding that the Go compiler will format your code every time you compile. I do not believe that is the case. You have to invoke `gofmt` or `go fmt` on the project. You may hook it to precommit, or your editor might be configured to automatically run it on save, but afaik neither `go build` nor `go run` will auto-format.
