Another point is just about the maturity of language and libraries.

I started learning Rust recently and when searching how to do some pretty basic stuff, the answers are like "well you used to do this but now you do this and soon you'll be able to do this but it's not stabilized"

I figure I'll just check back in 5 years, I don't have the time or patience to be on the bleeding edge when I'm trying to get things done.

Good point. In software especially web world, I am usually wary of tech that is not at least 10 years mature/old.

The frontend frameworks used to have really short lifecycles "Oh,you're still using FooJS? That's so last year. Everyone's on Bar.js now- it's so much better"

Between this and the syntax/learning curve I've not gotten around to learning it (and maybe some Squirrel! as well).

One of these days. In the meantime I'm rather happy with Go because it's easy for a code monkey like myself to do the needful.
