> I do wonder how many people who understand Go's limitations (and work around them as you point out above) have truly given Rust a try (takes a few months - can't be done faster)
This is basically the "Anyone who doesn't love my favorite movie hasn't watched it enough times" argument. Programming language design is a complex space, there are no "correct" opinions.
No, I don't thinkbit is that argument. I think the argument is "Rust has a really steep learning curve". Nor do they imply that everyone who has given Rust 3 months will like it.
I tend to agree with his argument though, I can see how a lot of Golang developers would really benefit and enjoy migrating (I’m one of them) but I think it also depends on the type of applications that you usually write.
