      I absolutely understand what y’all like so much about Rust, but I have to say that as an auditor, my blood pressure drops and my shoulders relax the moment I switch from reading a Rust project to reading a Go project.

      I think Rust *can* be as clear as Go, but parts of the language invite too much clever-ness, and programmers are drawn to this like moths to a flame. Not even touching lang differences. (I prefer writing Rust but this is a point I cede to Go, and try to realize in my own code)

      I’m sure that’s a factor but I feel like a lot more of it is that good Rust is clear, but it’s clear about runtime design decisions Go programmers just don’t get to make.

      There are ways Rust is clearer than Go! Any code that carefully uses Result or enums is probably easier to follow than the equiv’t Go code!

      Maybe I'm biased because I work at the intersection of security of realtime availability but when I read Go I can never shake the "this is easy to follow, but what magic is the garbage collector and scheduler going to screw me with some day" feeling. Not so with Rust.

          For perf, I 100% understand that POV. For security, not so much.

          agree. memory leaks are mostly a user, not language bug.
