It's not my place to ask you to do anything, and I didn't raise this topic. I'm just saying: if you're wondering why people think the Rust team has a beef with Go, that's one reason.
- pcwalton 12y agoEh, Rust and Go have been perceived as direct competitors since the day Rust was announced, and before I even worked on it. They even were more direct competitors before Rust started ironing out its low-level performance story and dropped GC. That perception's hard to shake. And sure, I did end up learning quite a bit about Go. No, Go didn't make all the design decisions I would have made if I were designing the language, and yes, I've posted about some of those on here (null pointers, generics, zero values, lack of memory safety when racing on maps). But that doesn't mean I think it's a bad language, and I'd even like to use Go at some point for some projects (lack of time, argh).
