I wonder if the underlying theme, that separates us from the rest, is "low or high-level, just as home"? At least when it comes to the stance on GC, that seems to be the hot potato on HN, that applies. Rust advertises working well without the GC. Go advertises working well with the GC. We lobby for working with or without based on situation.
