I really love the fact that most of the time people from the Golang community would like to say "look what I've made with Golang!" That's the sign of success: the users (here I mean general devs) should not care too much about the language per se, they still have applications to ship!

Rustaceans tend to talk more about cool new language features. They are critical to what Rust does, but maybe they have also got too much attention.

As I said: typically those devs want to use Rust but their team or employer decided to go with Go instead. So they keep writing Go wishing they were writing Rust instead (and maybe secretly hoping to convince their colleagues and bosses to switch to Rust).

So it happens precisely because Go is popular and get selected for those projects.
