A surface level concern. > The language sits in an awkward space between rust and python where one of them would almost always be a better choice. Rust doesn't have a GC so it's stuck to its systems programming niche. If you want the ergonomics of a GC, Rust is out. Python? Good, but slow, packaging is a joke, dynamic typing (didn't you mention type safety?), async instead of green threads, etc., etc. | ||

>packaging is a joke You should see what package management was like for golang in the beginning "just pin a link to github". That was probably one of the most embarrassing technical faux pass ive ever seen. >dynamic typing Type hinting works very well in python and the option to not use it when prototyping is useful. >Rust doesn't have a GC so it's stuck to its systems programming niche. The lack of GC makes it faster than golang. It has a better type system also. If speed is really a concern, using golang doesnt make much sense. | ||
