Cool! So, you're a perfect position to compare your experiences writing text editors in both languages :) (Although Go is more mature at this point)

- gchp 12y agoI guess you could say that! I initially found it much harder to work with Rust, as the language is more strict in a number of ways. But once I began to understand how it works, and began to grasp some of its concepts such as ownership and lifetimes I found it much more powerful than Go. Go has a larger community right now, many more libraries and resources openly available. That's probably one of Rust's downsides right now however its catching up, especially with the launch of crates.io. I don't think it will be long in maturing following the 1.0 release. Saying that, both are enjoyable to work with. But for me Rust wins out!
