In Go you know exactly what code you’re building thanks to gosum, and it’s much easier to audit changed code after upgrading - just create vendor dirs before and after updating packages and diff them; send to AI for basic screening if the diff is >100k loc and/or review manually. My projects are massive codebases with 1000s of deps and >200MB stripped binaries of literally just code, and this is perfectly feasible. (And yes I do catch stuff occasionally, tho nothing actively adversarial so far)

I don’t believe I can do the same with Rust.
