This year I wanted to learn either rust or go. Go is used more where I work, but I know of more fun oss uses rust.

    Go’s memory management is the reason to use it and the reason not to use it, so any kind of take around that is totally fair. Idk, I feel like wanting to have something with or without garbage collection is such a stark difference that I don’t fully understand why people get so het up about the comparison.

    There is a decent amount of open source dev. around it in the “cloud tools” world but most of the projects aren’t as fun as the weird Rust stuff people seem to do (Dendrite excepted :) ) Generics are coming, though, and so far the proposals look pretty good. I’m hopeful to see how it develops in the future.
