I bet there are more postings about Rust than any other language these days.

From a theoretical standpoint, Rust is a far more interesting language.

From a practical standpoint, Go is -- at least for the time being. And this is not primarily a site for academic PL theorists, is it?

The potential for Rust to innovate in a space completely dominated by C and C++ in the past decade has piked the interest of people who had never considered any other language for development.

Go, in contrast, is fairly unremarkable language. That doesn't make it bad in any way (tried and true combined with a primary emphasis in maintainable software is a winning combo), it's just that it's attacking a space which many other languages have dealt with before.

The idiom is "piqued interest". Go has more "Piked interest".

... than any other language??? I am not talking about Go here. Rust gets more coverage than any other language these days.
