Rust vs. Go 2025
- skwee357 1y agoI really tried to love Go. But I guess it’s too verbose for my liking. Not having modern paradigms like iterators, or basic data structures — is a bummer, especially in web related development. On top of that, the pollution of ‘if err != nil’ everything, makes the code unreadable. Rust, on the other hand, is adorable, and I enjoy it every time I get a chance to write in it.

- rstuart4133 1y agoI grimaced when I read this headline in the article: > Fast, compact executables They may be fast, but since both languages push you towards static linking neither yield compact executables. $ ls -l c-hello nm-hello -rwxr-xr-x 1 akips wheel 5000 May 9 10:19 c-hello -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 526296 May 2 11:15 nm-hello $ With Go (I think) this is just a tool chain choice. In Rust, monomorphization means the language is more of less wedded to large executables.
