Are Rust and Go sufficiently different that they should each be chosen in different cases? Sure! But that’s literally why someone would consider both and pick one.
People have an irrational hate for it based on the enterprise cruft and horrible third party frameworks you can just completely ignore if you build a new thing
It's not good for commandline stuff but for a long running small service it is pretty great
It is much more practical to choose a language that does not have a terrible history of poor API design to begin with.
What language that's been around for long enough to have a large ecosystem doesn't have a terrible history of poor api design?
But sure, if you pick a really new language, you do get the chance to be that history for future generations
..and I'm generally a Java-hater as the language itself is objectively inferior to my beloved C#.. but even then there are situations where Java is a better choice.
Except they are not unlikely to consider Java.
It's a language with a very robust ecosystem, it is relatively easy to hire Java developers, and a decent job for large, complex projects.
