@tef yea I think GOPATH/modules is partly what I meant by hearing packaging got less shite.
Also yes, lack of generics was a very easy dunk BITD but I did hear they got them. Was less of an issue for me as I'm only really grokking generics in the last yearish myself (doing more typed Python) 🤪
the thing about go, it that its best contemporary is java, that's the sort of mindshare it competes with
rust wants to compete with c++, but it seems the largest adoption comes from people from ruby, python, etc, who want something more mechanical, rather than existing c/c++ users
there is rarely a case where it is "go or rust" because usually the other constraints "ffi/embedded" force your choice
