> suffering from web programmers

Agree 110% !

If you said I could only name one use-case for Go, it would be "web stuff".

Go is practically made for it. Whether you are consuming or serving "web stuff", the Go stdlib covers 99.999% of "web stuff" use-cases.

Rust doesn't have ANY stdlib, let alone a "web stuff" friendly stdlib. Which means you have to choose between :

       (a) Re-inventing the wheel, yet again; or
       (b) Choosing between a dozen crates for this that and everything else.
Meanwhile Go comes batteries-included with http, crypto, json and all the other "web stuff" that you'll likely ever need.
