&quot;Also the last time I saw a video about a low level language discussion, only Rust had a dev there nobody really knows. C++, D and Go had prominent people speaking for them.&quot;<p>That has nothing to do with anything.<p>&quot;Rust is trying something new and Go tries to only use the stuff that worked in the past. It&#x27;s no surprise that people favor Go instead of Rust.&quot;<p>That&#x27;s a good point. Anyone doing something critical wants low risk. Using a proven tool or one with proven concepts is lower risk. Go&#x27;s methods were proven in Pascal, Oberon, etc. So, Go is less risk.<p>Not to knock Rust in any way with the above. Might be safer in long run due to design and improving toolchain. However, there <i>is</i> a risk perception and a real issue of new concepts taking time to spot then eliminate problems. So, I encourage Rust for systems use on less critical stuff right now but was shocked Dropbox uses it in storage functions.
