I both agree with you and still think my initial idea was correct, and it means that I have expressed it very badly. What I meant by higher order was all the little niceties Go has that becomes a nightmare in Rust, the memory management, simple language; I mean just think about working with strings in Go vs Rust. The amount of boiler plate stuff always gives me a headache in Rust. But you're right, the map to C and C++ and go is orders of magnitude less developed in that terms.
