also just want to mention rust and its bastard children do have garbage collectors the biggest difference (aside from OOP data model) between #golang and #rust is that rust forces the programmer to explicitly state where a variable is in scope, the so-called "escape" problem Go's GC uses a heuristic to try and (conservatively) pick memory allocations that are stale or definitely not in scope whereas Rust forces the programmer to stipulate when a variable is in scope this lets Rust apps squeeze a little more performance, in the same way as C++, at the expense of high complexity of compilation (read memory and time cost for developers) and a longer test/edit cycle (because of that) the margin is no more than about 5% it's not worth it when you consider that it doesn't actually matter that much, 5% better performance, when it costs $5/month for the basic VPS and that means 10 cents saving versus if you wrote your shit in Go, which saves you 5% on the cost of your programmers

also this is why the inventor of #nostr is a #golang programmer because fiatjaf already understands the fact that Go apps are faster and less painful to build
