What's the appeal of Go? A while back, a dude from the local makerspace got
REALLY into it and was just golang this and golang that.. I tried it out, it
was slow. I've been trying it here and there since then, it's still slow. It's
just like Java where you have to load a giant interpreter to run your code.
Unless maybe I missed something about compiling to a faster executable... but
every public project written in Go that I try loads just as slow as I expect it
to.. and I'm pretty sure requires more RAM/resources than projects written in
other languages.

I haven't tried Rust yet myself, but I noticed a big uptick in its use and then
a sudden drop in popularity. Is that all politics-based? Did some Rust
developer get cancelled for misgendering someone?
