What is really weird is how often Go and Rust are compared, period. Their designs seem to be different in almost all ways and, as you say, they don't even coincide when it comes to maturity.
- NateDad 13y agoGo and Rust get compared because they're both new-ish and compiled and C-like. But yes, most of the time it's not really a valid comparison.
- belluchan 13y agoNot even that, but you can't compare the main devs with Go to Rust in terms of personal accomplishment. Rob Pike who made an entire operating system at Bell Labs and has published quite a bit. Every programmer should go read Rob Pike's regular expression parser, that he wrote in like an hour and is published and annotated in the book Beautiful Code. Brad Fitzpatrick who made memcached, openid, and uh LiveJournal, Russ Cox also from Bell Labs, and many others. It's an all-star team operating under Google's demanding auspices in an ivory tower of unfathomable wealth, servers, needs and technology. These guys aren't novices, they're not going to make a shitty programming language. If you are unhappy with some part of Go (as I am actually, I'd like interfaces to know about properties as well as methods but maybe that's weird) they've probably thought about it and have a good reason for whatever choice they made.
