Green vs. Brown Programming Languages

If your opinion is as simple as “Go will be more better than Rust”, or the opposite, it is far too simple to be correct.

Rust is unbeatable for services you want to deploy, stabilize, and forget about forever.

Go is pretty darn good for building out complicated/messy services in an iterative process.

Go is the optimal language for a company that wants one (or more) microservice per engineer. It's a great language for padding out bulletpoints for a promo packet.

More expensive, and not always necessary. But great point.

You will never have a stabilized system unless you are multinode. Hardware will fail. Rust is not good at this.
