Rust compiles way slower in my experience. This is a major problem because ais need to recompile many times especially when it keeps running into borrow checker problems.
With golang, all borrow checker problems go away. This is a good trade off if your app is not cpu-bound, which most are not. If you need every last drop of performance then rust is a better choice of course.
However, I have run into a few cases of runtime null crashes in go.

- codexon 2mo agoWhen I meant compile I also meant cargo check. That still takes way longer than go builds.
