"Unlike Rust, Go is really easy to pick up. It's possible to jump directly into it, and you can be writing useful programs after a single afternoon of messing around or reading." I think it's safely implied that you put more effort into Rust code, but get more out of it. It's a tradeoff from Go. It's worth it for some programs, and others it's not. Go for me doesn't work out because it's not C ABI compliant which is a limitation Rust doesn't have. As a language nothing draws me to it in particular. The killer feature is how easy it is to get started with it. Something that is undersold. Coming primarily from Python I'm still favoring the field over Go until my problems matched Google's. I would probably reach for Erlang for concurrency and Rust for anything low-level going forward.
