In a practical manner, I would say that Go is production ready whilst Rust still has some way to go (!). Rust 1.0 is approaching, but is not there yet, and there are still syntax/semantic questions being examined and lots of work on the runtime... not to mention the lack of libraries (compared to Go) largely due to the language still not being finalized.
I believe Rust could supplant Go (I see nothing in Go that Rust cannot do) and cast a much wider net, but first it has to mature. -- Matthieu On Sun, Sep 1, 2013 at 10:48 AM, John Mija <jon...@proinbox.com> wrote: > Hi!
