The Rust promotion has unfortunately changed lately. I've noticed too that they not only tell everyone how great Rust is (which is fine) but started bashing other languages (which is sad and not doing any good for the public image of Rust).

Rust is from enthusiasts for enthusiasts. If the Rust community wants it to become more real / main stream, they need to look at how the Go team focuses on supporting devs for getting things done correctly with long term stability.

This is not for absolute beginners, but pure gold:

I'm a dev for more than 10 years. Much Python, C#, Java, JS/TS, Kotlin, a bit of Rust and was recently forced to use Go.

Writing out source code by hand: Nothing beats TS or Kotlin. Not even Python.

But what surprised me with Go after a couple of month (and please, nobody should judge a language until having done a serious project): Taking everything into account, from installing to looking for libs, writing code, testing, compiling, revisiting code after a couple of month ... Go is an absolute dream in terms of overall efficiency.

Writing out error-checking or for-loops is a one shortcut in GoLand. Getting a table-test template for a function as well. People complaining about having to type this stuff out should learn a proper editor.
