I think Go creates a false sense of “getting things done” by allowing too little abstraction and increasing LOC. The writing/thinking ratio is great, but most of it is having to write 4 lines of repetitive code for every reduce that should have been one line instead

I implore anyone that says "Go is simple therefore Go codebases are simple" to look at big Go projects like Kubernetes

Having written a few Rust projects, I cannot disagree more. As for writing code, I am just as productive in Rust as in Java, despite having way more experience in Java (15+ years). I spend less time hunting for bugs in Rust and less time thinking „can I change that line so I don’t introduce a bug?”

Out of curiosity, how many professional projects written in Rust have you worked on?
