Why Discord is switching from Go to Rust (2020)
How illuminating. From CloudFlare posts, I had been under the impression that Go&#x27;s gc was incredibly unintrusive, near-real time performance for applications operating in increments of a few hundred milliseconds. For example, CloudFlare uses Go to analyze network traffic.<p>Yes, Rust provides a more predictable, faster memory management model than Go. At the expense of unpredictable, expensive memory leaks triggering application termination.<p>Curious how much time and effort was dedicated to improving gc, which is a useful endeavor in its own right.
