It is also easier to make your code deterministic with Rust vs with Go, which is incredibly useful if you need to perform deterministic simulation testing + property-based testing. I recently wrote a Postgres-to-Iceberg data mirroring tool [1] in Go, but I ported it to Rust because I wanted the ability perform DST without fighting Go's runtime [2]. But if the domain is not critical that warrants DST, I would still pick Go over Rust any day.
