I find your experience interesting. People below are saying you can understand rust super easy if you know go. Meanwhile you are saying rust was a struggle and go is a relief.

So which is it?

The answer is rust has very little in common with go. Rust is very explicit and go is not. Some people find the explicit nature of rust and it's guarantees refreshing. Other people find go refreshing because the syntax is more limited and it looks simple on paper.

Yes: I do say Rust was a struggle and go is a relief. Yes: rust has very little in common with go. Yes: Rust is very explicit and go is not. Yes: Other people find go refreshing because the syntax is more limited and it looks simple on paper. So, you're right.

IMO: Go is a very "productive" and clean lang/platform when comparing to Rust. It's depends what you're using it for. In my case (for concurrent backends) Go came as a bliss. And that was before AI (vibecoding).
