Not so relevant but for any of you who prefer Rust to Go and haven't tried Go, don't do it. Go's std, visibility by case and gofmt, among other things will make you cry for using Rust. I really hope Rust get's better with time and it really focuses on being developer friendly not just a bag of nice features.

Maybe we should do less crying and more contributing. Google has a bit more dev muscle to throw at projects than Mozilla, so community involvement is far more critical to Rust's health.

    Please, let's not have an argument over which dev team is smarter. The fact is that Go and Rust are very different languages with different goals and feature sets, with different levels of ambitiousness and which started development in earnest at different times.

      Agreed. There is room in this world for both projects to succeed, and I hope they do.

      That's not what I meant. I was just replying to parent that was, to me, implying that Google had a huge team working on Go.

  I, as a user interested in both, did find value in the comment regardless of his/her intentions. This comes off as a 'shut up' when really, it could be a good opportunity to look at what Go does right for implementation in Rust, no?
  - pcwalton 13y ago
    Because it's plainly a troll. ("Go will make you cry for using Rust" made that clear, especially considering the user's comment history, in which I've already explained why at least visibility on case doesn't make sense.)

      Not trolling at all, just sharing my opinion as noob with Rust coming from Go. That particular quote is related to "cleanliness of the language" obviously it's not an apples to apples comparison. My apologies to all of you Rust devs who might get offended with my comment, wasn't my intention, you are doing an awesome job I'm looking for 1.0 meanwhile I'll keep toying around with the language.

    As a follower of the Rust project, the constant comparisons to Go are all the more tiring for how unwarranted they are. They are wildly different languages, with wildly different strengths and wildly different goals, designed for wildly different audiences. And yet people still insist on playing up the dramatic Google vs. Mozilla angle. I'm as tired of it as pcwalton is.

    Thanks axaxs, this is what I was trying to say. My apologies again to rust devs.
