This is usually a very simple decision. Do you need the performance of Rust? If not, use Go (or Java or F# or C# or whatever GC language you prefer)

Or, if GC is not an option - like operating systems, embedded software, web engines and game engines. That said, why not just use Rust for everything if you know it?

You can use any language you like for your pet project with a single contributor, but there are more considerations if you want to have/move a team to that language in business environment.

Agreed. That's certainly a good criterion.

Finally, a pragmatist on this Rust vs Go maddness. Thank you
