    I don’t agree go is simpler to read. It is simpler to learn the syntax but the syntax is only part of what makes a language. Having learnt both, and having spent more time actually writing go I still prefer writing rust and finding it far easier to work with then go. Go has too many hidden gotchas that you need to trip up on to learn and then remember forever or else trip up on them again.

      I agree here. I always find it difficult to navigate a Go codebase, especially when public members just seem to magically exist as opposed to being explicitly imported.
