I have looked at both Rust and Go. What I have felt is that, Rust is too restrictive. I mean, you have to fight the compiler a lot harder then you have to do in Go. Some times, for example, if you are writing device drivers or real time embedded programs, then that is great.

But for web services? I think it is overkill. I think Go strikes a nice balance. I would love to be convinced otherwise though. So please tell me, what am I missing?
