From someone who hasn't learned/considered Go for any real project so far, would there be any benefits in going Go instead of Rust? Or learning Go instead of Rust?
The way I look at it, and I could totally be wrong, is if you go for a different language for your back-end than your front-end, it betters pay off big time. I find Go and Typescript to be in a very similar ballpark in term of productivity, but with Typescript having a huge advantage since you can reuse all the learning/tooling from the front-end.
Rust on the other hand really adds something to the table with the memory safety and zero-cost abstraction.
TL&DR: It feels like either you eat the bullet and go Rust for memory safety, or Typescript is a better choice. Of course I'm overly simplifying.
