- I’ve seen a lot of debate here comparing Go’s issues (like nil handling or error scoping) to Rust’s strengths.
- As someone who’s worked with C/C++ and Fortran, I think all these languages have their own challenges—Go’s simplicity trades off against Rust’s safety guarantees, for example.
- Could someone share a real-world example where Go’s design caused a production issue that Rust or another language would’ve avoided?
- I’m curious how these trade-offs play out in practice.
Sorry, I don't do Go/Rust coding, still on C/C++/Fotran.
It's a niche use case to have software that load plugins and it just so happens those plugins are written in Go? No it's not a niche case. If all programing you do in Go is web servers than sure you won't see this.
