I'd choose Go every time unless I need the extra performance of not having GC and the smaller footprint of not including the Go runtime in the binary.

Go is a much simpler and cleaner language with strong tooling.

Have never used Go but I prefer a language with an expressive type system so I choose Rust

I suspect this crowd is more Rust-centric. But curious.

I'm a magic 8 ball of pithy sayings

Good distinction! Yeah my inclination is towards Rust as well and I really just like to hear how people think about it.

Rust is more expressive but has a higher learning curve. Tooling is still maturing. 

Go is less expressive but simpler to ramp up on. Tooling is quite mature

I’d pick rust if I trust the average engineering skill of collaborators and go if the range of skill is wider

Strongly in the Rust camp for most apps
