On: Writing Rust the Elixir Way

[dnautics]

I've done both (Go first, actually), and I hated Go. And all of my dev friends who are still in goland have nothing but complaints. Small sample size (n ~ 3), but still.

I'd find it interesting to know what those complaints are about.

Complaints I've heard: json broken, no good way to do orm, http library not great, no good framework for http webserver, etc. Channels/goroutines are deceptively hard, easy to cause resource leaks.

not the person you're responding to, but this blog and blog post has some good, in-depth points: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/i-want-off-mr-golangs-wild-...

Thanks. After reading it, I wonder if the problems he mentions only occur in Go, or if they occur in most languages that are not Rust.

None of these problems are problems in elixir or zig, the two langs I'm most familiar with currently (they are handled differently, of course).
