This is an article about Go, not an article comparing Go to Rust. I'd say the same thing if the roles were reversed: don't start language debates. They spread like kudzu and choke everything else out of the threads.
If HN adhered to this policy, it would be the most boring site on the web. Tangential, complementary and/or controversial conversation in posts is where some of the best content is.
Comment police/gatekeeping discussion (outside of dang actually enforcing the rules) is probably the most annoying behavior on this site.
