Rust versus Go is a controversial topic that pops up from time. In this post, we will compare both languages in the context of web development by writing a small web service which shows weather data in both languages.

Oh no, not another ‘Is Rust better than Go?’ article. Seriously, haven’t we all had our fill of these comparisons by now? But before you sigh in exasperation, hear us out!

    I mean couldnt you say that about any language?

    Looks at a standardised language like common lisp

    The language itself has been locked for decades, but you’ve got libraries and compiler instructions that add features like OOP, strict typing, async, etc.

    Long live the macro!

    There’s lots of stuff written in python today that’s obsoleted by stuff in the 3.13 alpha

    Didn’t rust base a lot of its marketing on the promise that there will never be a rust 2, and that all code will be backwards compatible?

      I think that’s Golang, not Rust
