Attitudes like this are one of the things that keeps me from trying Rust again. Pedantic, cherrypicked comparisons, omissions when the comparison would not be favorable.<p>Rust is <i>more</i> complicated than Go for someone seeing the language for the first time, if we measure complexity by cognitive overhead derived from syntactic size and unfamiliarity.<p>If you cannot admit the places your tool of choice falls short, instead painting it as some panacea and the only "right" choice, you aren't going to convince me, quite the opposite actually. Perhaps we are just in an age of zealtory...
