Well, so far it looks like Rust resolves real problems in theory. In practice, I just see much more projects made in Go than in Rust. I confess that I didn't go hunting for Rust projects though.
Maybe it's the same as Mercurial vs Git. The latter is more popular, even if it's "worse", according to some.
- kibwen 12y agoThe comparison is unwarranted. Mercurial and Git were designed to solve the same problem (quite literally, even: both were conceived as an attempt to replace BitKeeper as the distributed version control system for the Linux kernel). Go and Rust were designed to solve very different problems. That people feel the need to constantly compare the two languages is because our industry is fad-driven, causing people to be ever on the lookout for The Next Big Thing lest they get left in the dust. This incessant veneration of novelty results in people who have only shallow understanding of a large number of technologies, leading to comparisons that are based only on superficial traits.
