My experience rewriting Enjarify in Rust
Good write up.<p>I can agree with him on a couple of points.<p>I've found Rust code to become terribly verbose and unreadable for certain tasks. You have to be careful to not end up with messy and hard to read code. Lifetimes of course make it even worse. Some common patterns are hard / awkward to implement. The stdlib is (intentionally) very small, and throwing together various crates adds a considerable maintenance overhead.  Overall I find Rust really promising though. It might need a few more years to mature.<p>I totally agree on Go: I intially really loved it and used it all the time. The more code, and especially the more reusable libraries I wrote, I started hating it more and more, to the point where I only touch Go if I have to, or for small, one-off, self contained projects that need a bit more perf than Python or where Haskell is not appropriate (team, problem space).<p>The only thing that's a plus for go is it's dead-easy concurrency.
