alt Hacker NewsWell, .NET is just not in the same class as Go and Rust.
Go is, essentially, nearly perfect at what it does - even if the language itself leaves much to be desired and would ideally be much safer.
Microsoft should up their game. They have a few research languages in development.
They've always been great with languages. Hopefully, they rise to the occassion.

What? If you are talking web development, .Net is just about the same as Go. It's 100% Java OOP type writing but result is same, very performant API server.
Sure, Rust is completely different beast with different target system.

The only thing Go has going for it was getting lucky with Docker and co, and UNIX/Plan 9/Inferno pedigree.
Now we're stuck with it in anything CNCF related.
