This must really depend on your niche. I assume you do web stuff or something? Good luck finding any golang examples in a lot of other fields. Rust, on the other hand, is taking over the world in systems programming.

Been reading and drinking that kool-aid for some time until I realized it's just an internet bubble mumbo jumbo. Majority of systems are still written in C and C++, and will be for unforeseeable future.

There are go examples (and full blown programs) for anything, from servers to Kubernetes and Docker.

which is pretty much webdev for the larger industry.

Yes. Maybe I should have said web stack?

Just reporting what I’ve experienced. No need to go with the ad hominem attack. I happen to lead a team with a major Rust infra project and I stand by the experience with usage across all the LLM models.

What ad hominem?
