Go doesn't just target x86 desktops either

  And? Not every project had the same amount of resources. There is a tradeoff here. Having a large, but badly maintained, standard library with varying platform support is worse than having a smaller, but well maintained, one.

    If you look at the numbers, Golang has 2000+ contributors, while Rust has 5000+ Golang's core dev team is something like 30 people. So Rust does have the resources.

      The amount of contributors is a totally meaningless metric. 1. Not every contributor contributes equally. Some contributors work full time on the project, some work a few hours a month. 2. The amount of contributors says nothing about what resources are actually required. Rust is, no doubt, a more complex language than go and is also evolving faster. 3. The amount of contributors says nothing about the amount of contributors maintaining very niche parts of the ecosystem.
