Choosing Between Rust or Go?

Re:Choosing Between Rust or Go? by fdghfg on Monday March 30, 2020 @12:55PM (#22729704)

tl;dr Go, of course. rust it just too fugly and has no worthy support on windows and in IDEs. sure, you may love it but if you check out jobs, it's like 100:1 for Go. rust is and will be an exotic language for very niche use cases.

let the downvotes begin :)

What kind of problems with IDEs are you running into with Rust? I've used Intellij and Clion with the Rust plugin and they seem to have all the standard IDE bells and whistles - inferred type annotations, autocomplete, autoimport, interactive debugging, refactoring, etc. I haven't tried VSCode but from what I understand that's even more popular than the Jetbrains tools so I would guess that it works pretty well too.

Actually, with Rust you can even link with msvc toolchain, which Go cannot.

What Windows problems do you see with Rust? I’ve been Windows only for a few years now.

Rust has better Windows support than Go.
