It definitely depends on what you want to do. For systems programming, HPC, embedded etc, Go is not an alternative to Rust. For webdev, I do get it, Go is much simpler.
The Syntax do be Lknda tricky, but its a great language with lots of great high level functionality. I can not really say anything about Go, since I never used or even read it.
Yeah, I know, I don’t trust Google as much as the next person; but I just don’t think they can really do what they’re doing with the AOSP to Go, I mean, Go is fully open-source, and doesn’t depend on Google for anything really.
If Google did try to pull something with Go, the language would just be forked. But I frankly don’t see what Google would get out of restricting Go. For a mobile operating system, it makes very good business sense, they can direct more users to their own app store to show them ads and get more revenue, but a programming language is a tool, not a commercial product (at least nowadways).
To be honest I might opt for Go instead; I find Rust’s syntax too noisy and hard to read.
Go is neat but i like it when my programs work

Ken Thompson and Rob Pike. I trust their design decisions.
Doesn’t Go belong to google?
Also, why do you want to learn programming? (It is nice and fun to code, but the choice of a language may depend on your aim too)
It doesn’t “belong” to Google, but they are a major contributor.
I know why I want to program, and Go has everything I need to do that, and I also just quite like the language anyway.
Don’t get me wrong but pay attention to the android os stuff and ask yourself if it is applicable. Idk. I just wish you the best.

If ever google does it so you have to fork it, please call the new language No.
Good, you have thought about it. I hope you are right! Take care!
Being hard to read is what produces the juice! Don’t shortchange the juice and end up a bro!
rust is good but this is the exact 180 degree opposite of why
