> Ultimately, if you have to ask, the Rust vs. Go consideration boils down almost completely to "do you want a managed runtime or not".

You don't need a garbage collector which is perhaps half of the Go Runtime when you're using Rust.

You can also bolt on a few crates and get ~95% of what you'd get from Go's runtime.

Go has the best runtime in the world. I'll give it that.

But this is not the only reason...

You obviously don't need a GC when you're using Rust, because Rust doesn't plausibly have one.
