Rust vs. Go: Why They're Better Together

  I was looking at rust, go and python and ended up concluding rust/python is the optimal complementary combo for me.

  One typed, one untyped. One compiled one interpreted. One garbage collected one not. One fast to prototype one fast to execute. One suited for ML, one suites for WASM.

  Go seems nice too but felt very middle of the road (which is fine) rather than directly complementary to either.

  Isn't Rust really well suited as the main extension language of functional-preferring, strongly-dynamically-typed, interactive languages, such as Racket, Guile, OCaml, or F#?
