The article is arguing that Rust is a better choice which is laughable. Go is a small GC-ed language. Rust is an obnoxiously complex language with strong emphasis on memory management. I don’t see any projects where you could legitimately hesitate between the two.

Truth be told I quite like Go. It’s small and simple. It does the job. You can onboard people on it quickly and in practice with the toolchain you don’t run into the issue mentioned.

Would I rather use Ocaml most of time? Of course but it doesn’t have the same ecosystem. Would I rather use Rust? Heck no, I’m not going to deal with the borrow checker and life cycles if a GC is fine.
