Why use Go when you can use Rust?

1. Amount of Rust training data isn’t as much as Go.

2. Golang syntax and style is very verbose yet simple. There’s not as many options nor programming language to domain mapping needed as in Rust. Leads to needing less sophisticated LLM to spit out Golang than Rust successfully and efficiently.

So I can test my feature today instead of waiting until it finishes compiling tomorrow.

In short, compile times and a more full-featured stdlib

Doesn't Rust have long compile times? Does Go suffer from the same problem?

Because LLMs are better at Go? And because some people understand Go code easier and they might want to look at the code?
