I agree with everything you said :)<p>I also think Lisp is not truly &quot;better&quot; in the sense &quot;worse-is-better&quot; is ascribing. But if we suspend disbelief - then the Go vs. Rust story matches the one described in &quot;Worse is better&quot;.<p>Perhaps Rust will win out in the end and &quot;worse is better&quot; won&#x27;t prevail. Despite liking the idea of Rust very much, I don&#x27;t think it will.
