At the beginning of this year, kdy1 (Donny) said he'd be switching to Go after initially trying things out in Rust [1][2], I guess he decided to go through with Rust after all? Or is this something slightly different?

I think the reasons they switched are pretty weak, but justified at the same time. Kdy1 looks like more of a Rust person (their GitHub has more active Rust repos than Go), so this should’ve been the choice from the beginning. Going with the comfortable choice over the “pragmatic” one is almost always the best option if you’re the only contributor (or plan to be for a while).
