Go is not at all playing in the same league as Zig or Rust. Of course managed languages are more than fine for almost every use case, but I really hate this trends to wash go together with low-level languages for absolutely no good reason.

That's not just a trend. There are many areas of programming where a choice between Rust and Go is perfectly reasonable. Rust is playing on Go's turf, but Go isn't playing on Rust's, if you get my meaning.

F-Secure created USB Armory firmware in Go instead of Rust, exactly because they wanted to make the point of it being a possible scenario for Go, regardless of what the interwebs think about the idea.

USB Armory is still being sold.

Zig doesn't have anything like the safety guarantees of Rust.
