  Go seems to be coming under fire more and more lately because it hasn't thought about rough edge cases that arose from its simplistic design decisions.

  Meanwhile, we see Rust increasing in glowing reviews from developers who have used it for its safety.

  When they both came out I thought they would just grow up side by side and simply be used for different use cases. Nowadays though I'm starting to see Rust eat into Go's market share.

  The more decentralized community feel of Rust doesn't hurt either, compared to the more BDFL feel of having the Go team from Google decide what happens and what doesn't.
