As mentioned in the post and having basic experience with go, go doesn't solve my problems and it's presence of nil makes it feel like a fancy C.

Rust does have something to offer and I've helped a bit with a thing called oxidize (not the compilation phase in rustc) as an attempt to make a web framework (or at least a routing layer on top of an http lib from the community)

I wonder how this author would feel to compare Erlang and Rust once it matures.
