For me the biggest problem with Rust is its so darn complex. I recently had to modernise a few ancient CLI tools and knew it was a case of Rust vs Go.
I knew neither language, but try as I might I just could never get going with Rust. The syntax is obscure, the concepts are complex. There is also no real IDE for Rust.
Meanwhile Go was much quicker to get working code with, and when combined with the excellent Jetbrains GoLand IDE, my initial spaghetti code was soon transformed into a cleaner and maintainable format. The Go community on Slack is also a great resource.
