Not every post about Go needs to mention Rust. Rust has its niche and so does Go. Both kind of suck at AI.
LLM researchers care about neither since Rust comes with its own headache: learning curve, slow compilation, weak stdlib, and Go’s FFI story is just sad. It’s still Python or GTFO.
That said, Go is great to whip up “agents” since it’s a nicer language to write networking and glue code, which is what agents are. Other than a few niche groups, I’ve seen a lot more agents written in Go than in Rust.
- mountainriver 1y agoThere is wayyyyy more ML activity in Rust than Go. Rust is actually becoming quite viable in the ML space. Agents that don’t do machine learning rarely ever work, that’s the sad truth of the ecosystem.
