Do you prefer Go or Rust for enterprise software development?


For enterprise software development, do you prefer Go or do you prefer Rust? And why?

After reading the problems that devs are experiencing with Go as soon as they start to scale up, I begin to wonder: Would Rust encounter these problems under the same situation. The answer is Less likely.

The argument to use Rust in constrained systems to reduce memory consumption with its speed is justified as a gain.

Do you prefer a punch in the face, or a poke in the eye with a sharp stick?

I guess it depends what sort of software you are building but overall Rust. Go feels like Google is telling me they know better, Rust gives me power.
