r/golang on Reddit: Why should I use Go over Rust, Java, or Python?
December 23, 2023 - TLDR: Go is an 80%-language, and that's a great thing. It will give you 80% of the memory and CPU efficiency of Rust, 80% of the enterprise adoption of Java, and 80% of the rapid development and prototyping power of Python, at 20% of the development ...

Why should I use Go over Rust, Java, or Python? · Preslav Rachev
December 23, 2023 - It will never be as fast and memory-efficient as Rust, but it gets to 80% of its speed out of the box, requiring only 20% of the mental comprehension and developer effort to get there. It will never conquer the enterprise world as Java once did in the early 2000s, but it is 80% there - lots of enterprise setups now run in containerized and orchestrated infrastructure where Go is king.
Rust vs Golang: Coming from Python (I know technically it's not necessarily the right comparison)
If you already know Python, take a good hard look at PyO3 (which enables you to write native Python modules in Rust) and see if you can find something comparable in Go. Pydantic (which afaik is used by FastAPI, among others) went this route - core, hot, logic written in Rust for speed and the rest in Python. More on reddit.com

November 7, 2022For those of you who migrated to rust from go, do you feel more productive?
After getting over Rust's substantial learning curve, I'm way more productive in Rust than Go. Error handling, generics, closures/iterator adapters, and all the compile-time checks are the primary reasons why. I might be able to throw together a half-assed prototype of something simple in Go or Python more quickly than in Rust, but if I need production reliability and to support it for a while, or the project is of any substantial complexity, Rust wins hands-down.

April 22, 2021I am thinking about learning GO or Rust but I am not sure which one to pick. Any recommendations?
Go you can learn in like a week or so at most, its whole value prop is being small, straightforward and "boring". Rust is considerably more challenging and "bleeding edge" when it comes to programming language theory, so in a sense the more interesting one of the two.

December 27, 2020One Program Written in Python, Go, and Rust
The experience was somewhat annoying at first, it felt as though it was simply slowing me down and forcing me to be excessively explicit whereas Python would just let me do what I wanted, even if I got it wrong occasionally. Somewhat like giving instructions to someone who always stops you to ask you to clarify what you mean, versus someone who always nods along and seems to understand you, though you’re not always sure they’re absorbing everything. What a lovely article - really great read, and an awesome metaphor dynamic / static typing! More on reddit.com

Rust → Minimal footprint thanks to ownership and zero-cost abstractions (you get high-level features like iterators or traits without any extra runtime cost compared to low-level code). Go → Uses garbage collection but keeps pause times low (<10 ms in most real workloads). Python → Has a larger memory overhead (hundreds of MB for data-heavy scripts), though tools like Cython, Codon, or PyPy can cut usage significantly (Arxiv).

One Program Written in Python, Go, and Rust – Nicolas Hahn
July 1, 2019 - Verbosity: Go is a bit more verbose (though not Java verbose). Part of that is because type system does not have generics, but mainly the fact that the language itself is very small and not heavily loaded with features (you only get one looping construct!). I missed having Python’s list ...

November 7, 2022 - On the plus side, Rust's type system gives me so much power to enact "if it compiles, it works" that it's a huge relief when I rewrite a Python project in Rust for maintainability. Some mistakes Rust doesn't catch by fasterthanlime does an interesting progression of Node.js isn't as strict as Go isn't as strict as Rust if you want some context on that.

Answer (1 of 10): Well, whatever you do, you should stick with Python! However, that does not exclude learning Go or Rust. You never really abandon a language unless it’s useless or painful to use. I’ve more or less stopped writing shell scripts because shell is such a disaster of a language, ...
