+<h1>"Rust or Go?" is not the question</h1>
+<h1>Part 2: (But Rust is definitely the answer)</h1>
+<h1>Part 3: Rust is definitely production ready</h1>
+-> part 2 include coworker conversation tidbits draft notes:
+<ul>
+  <li>These are two very different languages</li>
+  <li>These two languages are solving two very different problems</li>
+  <li>
+    What attracted me to Rust is the error handling and borrow checker. You
+    don't need a runtime and you don't need to worry about a variety of memory
+    pitfalls.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Rust is not just a systems-level language, and Go is not just a server-side
+    language.
+  </li>
+  <li>Rust isn't *really* about speed or performance. It's about safety.</li>
+  <li>Rust is just plainly a more powerful language.</li>
+  <li>
+    Go is for Python developers who need speed. Rust is for C++ developers who
+    need safety.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Rust has opt-in concurrent runtimes and opt-in garbage collection. These are
+    standard in Go, there's no getting out of them.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+  Go has great concurrency. Goroutines are high-performance, parallel green
+  threads. Rust's concurrency is provably-correct.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Why is the immediate question when someone says they wrote something in Go,
+  "why not rust?". The inverse is true. When I tell a dev I wrote something in
+  Rust, the immediate response is "you should have used Go, it's better." This
+  is false.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  What does suck about Rust? The compiler is slow. It will probably always be a
+  degree of magnitude slower than another compiler for a similar target.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  It's not Rust vs Go, it's when to use Rust and when to use Go. And the number
+  one argument I get for why Go should be used is it's simpler and faster to
+  learn and work with. There's the answer! The answer is use whichever one works
+  best for you. There's no better or worse, or superiority. Redditors will say
+  otherwise.

+  Go vs Rust discussions are ridiculous. It should be more like: When to use Go.

+  Both Microsoft and Amazon have just recently announced and released their new

+  Official first party support for these massive APIs helps make Rust people's

+  >Dart -- apples to oranges? I'm not trying to say that go is going the way of
+  dart, I'm trying to say that industry-leading companies aren't always stewards
+  of their creations. take FreeBSD. It's a thriving, excellent operating system
+  capable of "industry-leading company" usage. See the usuals (Netflix, Sony,
+  etc). Look at the FreeBSD foundation. Now look at RedHat and IBM. Again,
+  apples to oranges? No, just a bad argument to make in the first place.</a

+  Take a look Go as well. I think you will find Go much faster to program in.
+  The other aspect is threading. They have very different threading models. Not
+  sure if you had the chance to research that yet or not
+</blockquote>
+<blockquote>
+  Yes, a big thing is threading. Unfortunately, Rust uses a similar model as
+  Java for threads :(. Go is based on Fibers approach which so much faster for
+  temporary, lightweight requests. Go is definitely superior for HTTP REST API
+  apps. Rust can be better for a single-thread app or general "systems"
+  programming.
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+  Rust is not a "systems programming" language. Systems programming is not a
+  genre of languages. It's not like saying Italian is a "Romantic language".
+  Systems programming is a specific, targeted programming *application*. It's
+  the destination, the use-case that a language is being applied to. Rust is a
+  general-purpose programming language. I have used it to write a variety of
+  tools, low- and high-level, server-side and client-side, graphical and CLI.
+  Yes, I used it for some systems programming. Also used it to make a very
+  simple and robust web service digested by a variety of other developers at our
+  company.

+  The only way is to learn and try both. That's what I did. Most of the info
+  from both sides is biased...Go is definitely very fast and [garbage
+  collection] is not the issue people make it out to be. I started last month
+  porting [a chess] engine to Rust. I recently took a break from it because the
+  syntax and borrow checking were getting insane to deal with. Once I learned
+  about the threading issues in Rust, I have put it on the shelf for now. Rust
+  is still evolving which is good and bad. It needs better IDE and Debugging
+  support than current levels. Hopefully that will continue to improve. There
+  was a big Mozilla shakeup (Nov 2020) where they let go of the Rust developers
+  and cancelled the project. AWS hired them. So honestly, I am not sure which
+  direction the language is going in. Meaning, now that AWS owns the braintrust,
+  I don't know where they are headed. My guess is that AWS is using Rust for
+  some behind the scenes script-like stuff. Not sure. Will be important in the
+  next year or two on which direction things end up going. For Rust to benefit
+  long-term, it needs the support of a corporate backer

+  Anti-Rust zealotry is just as strong as pro-Rust zealotry. The hype goes both
+  ways. No, your talking points shouldn't come from Reddit.
