Any thoughts on Golang?
I'm still completely in the excited-newbie honeymoon phase, but writing Rust code feels very wholesome.

I haven’t written anything in it, but I like all the ideas behind it. Slightly different target than Rust with garbage collection.

Rigjtt, that makes complete sense. Ty!

From the opinion of someone that's done some work in both (More Go than Rust, but will change), Go is great for setting up web services. Unless speed is absolutely critical, I'd probably pick Go first for a web server. Anything that I'd consider for C++ would be Rust.

When both
@ID_AA_Carmack and@bcantrill are singing something’s praises, I guess it’s time for me to take a look at#rustlang - End of conversation

How so? Would you recommend it over Python?
-
rust is a statically typed, compiled, high performance language with compile time memory safety gaurantees. it is so different than python they are strange to even compare.
-
Ah sorry, I wasn’t aware.
-
all that said i think someone who knows python could get a lot out of learning rust. it has some of the high level niceties while running orders of magnitude faster
-
As primarily a Python dev I really like Rust and I don't find it all that difficult to grasp. I am especially fond of the error handling and the fact that it has proper package and dependency management. Definitely worth checking out if you're a Python person.

That was my morning too. Lovely language!
-
Cool cool. Let us know in 5 years whether it's 1% or 2% better than C.
-
I assume you mean perf. I imagine in this case the choice is more about which you feel more comfortable writing good code.

I love Rust because it reduces bugs by targeting it's biggest source... me.
