Yes. When people ask why I prefer Go over Rust (as a solo dev in web-adjacent space) it’s mainly two things:
- std lib that does some really heavy lifting. (Dep tree is maybe 10 libs total, 2-3 layers deep for mid-sized projects).
- concurrency is simpler and less boilerplate. Data races is a non-issue with good hygiene + race detector
I would normally throw in the Go toolchain as a plus but I think Rusts tooling is very good as well, in some cases maybe even better. It’s much more of a problem with other languages.
