All of these didn’t prevent Go from competing with Rust and I’m guessing that Fil-C will be the better choice in some cases.
Rust has managed to establish itself as a player, but it’s only the best choice for a limited amount of projects, like some (but not all) browser code or kernel code. Go, C++, C with Fil-C) have solid advantages of their own.
To name two:
* idiomatic code is easier to write in any of these languages compared to Rust, because one can shortcut thinking about ownership.
Rust idiomatic code requires it.
* less effort needed to protect from supply-chain attacks
