Why use Go when you can use Rust?

1. Amount of Rust training data isn’t as much as Go.

2. Golang syntax and style is very verbose yet simple. There’s not as many options nor programming language to domain mapping needed as in Rust. Leads to needing less sophisticated LLM to spit out Golang than Rust successfully and efficiently.

In short, compile times and a more full-featured stdlib

Doesn't Rust have long compile times? Does Go suffer from the same problem?

		I’m heavy into rust and never really use golang, but one big benefit of go over rust is compile times are significantly quicker, which could be more fun if you’re running CI checks 50 billion times
