🆚 Go vs. Rust

Go, also known as Golang, is a high-level, statically typed, compiled programming language developed at Google for building efficient, scalable software and backend services.

It features garbage collection, fast compilation, a large standard library, and built-in concurrency using goroutines and channels based on the communicating sequential processes model, where goroutines can start with about 2 KB of stack memory and scale to handle hundreds of thousands of concurrent tasks.
