Personally I loathe golang for the sheer fact that it was created recently enough to have included a much better design. Old languages get a pass.
Rust to me is what a modern take on a systems language would be. I think it’s substantially better than go.
- neonsunset 2y agoTo be fair, Go was never a proper "systems language" (and shamefully attempted to redefine what the term means).
- mroche 2y agoI don't think it attempted to redefine the term, but "web" was left off the beginning of the phrase. Go's primary strength is in creating distributed, concurrent services and other networked systems. This makes sense as a language born within Google, though like any language it can be used for other purposes.
