1. Amount of Rust training data isn’t as much as Go.

2. Golang syntax and style is very verbose yet simple. There’s not as many options nor programming language to domain mapping needed as in Rust. Leads to needing less sophisticated LLM to spit out Golang than Rust successfully and efficiently.

This must really depend on your niche. I assume you do web stuff or something? Good luck finding any golang examples in a lot of other fields. Rust, on the other hand, is taking over the world in systems programming.

Just reporting what I’ve experienced. No need to go with the ad hominem attack. I happen to lead a team with a major Rust infra project and I stand by the experience with usage across all the LLM models.

What ad hominem?

>Good luck finding any golang examples in a lot of other fields.

There are go examples (and full blown programs) for anything, from servers to Kubernetes and Docker.

Yes. Maybe I should have said web stack?

which is pretty much webdev for the larger industry.

So I can test my feature today instead of waiting until it finishes compiling tomorrow.

this is the top reason for a reasonably complex project, but it can be worked around by preplanning crates.

the other reason is if you really want async as is in vogue nowadays, function coloring - but this is rapidly becoming irrelevant, see article.

Maybe if you're working alone.

In short, compile times and a more full-featured stdlib

Doesn't Rust have long compile times? Does Go suffer from the same problem?

One of the design goals of Go was to be fast to compile. And they achieved it.

Go famously has stupidly fast compile times.

Because LLMs are better at Go? And because some people understand Go code easier and they might want to look at the code?

why,i have same question

I’m heavy into rust and never really use golang, but one big benefit of go over rust is compile times are significantly quicker, which could be more fun if you’re running CI checks 50 billion times

>which could be more fun if you’re running CI checks 50 billion times

Even running them 5 times it's WAY more fun

Why use zig when you can use odin?
