Go usage proves my point. It's statically compiled. In fact, Google wanted a language in the same performance class as C++ but that was easier to teach to college graduates. Rust is also such a language. Furthermore, when Uber got started, Rust hasn't even been available.

Rust being easier to teach than C++ is a very low bar to clear.

And for the record, when Uber got started Go wasn't available either.
