Go runtime: 4 years later

It shouldn't be a Rust vs golang. golang is mostly a somewhat better python, and mostly for writing backend services.

You can compare its domain (to a certain degree) to Java or C#, in which case the latter two are superior due to the reasons mentioned previously (enums, pattern matching, etc.).

Agree, about the "us vs them" mentality. The tribalism has gotten out of hand, though I kind of suspect some of it is corporate interests being behind it to push the illusion its a "winner take all" game and "putting the batteries in the backs" of many of the evangelists.

It feels like the language wars of 90s and 00s all over again, and I personally don't want to go through that cycle again.

I don't want to take sides, I want to enjoy programming and learning, that's all. When zealots zeal, kinder people either leave or go underground.
