What about other providers like Fastly and Akamai? I've not looked into this but maybe they do a better job?

As someone who has spent 9 years working on Go: - Self managed thread pool, Go routines are transposed onto threads. - Channels for thread synchronization. The Select block lets you efficiently block a routine until one of multiple channels return. - Fast compile times, fast execution. - Type safety and garbage collection. - Modern types like slices. You only have to check for nils when you explicitly use pointers. len([]byte(nil)) doesn't panic. - First class Unicode support. - Best date/time library I've used (sorry Python but you need timezones). - Builtin tooling for testing, benchmarking, standard formatting and dependency management. - Best package manager I've used. They force you do things their way but it's worth it IMO. All packages have a canonical URL that's explicitly referenced in code. - Supply chain protection for dependencies. - Dependencies are statically linked for easy distribution. - Great standard library with no breaking changes over the last 10 years. (Pretty sure)

At the end of the day though, use whatever works for your style. C++ isn't going anywhere. But I am noticing a lot of people talking about the importance of type safety when Rust development was allowed in the Linux kernel.
