alt Hacker NewsSaying that Go lacks in those is just showing how people are making software those days. It’s just terrifying.
As to Rust - we all, hopefully, agree that it’s great language, but not for some startup making websites or Mongo based, boring backends. It’s great for the stable, system level products.

and the costs they are willing to pay. Go/Rust just kill everything else (except maybe C++) for performance and resource needs. JVM requires so many resources just to run small apps.

I don't know what compiler and GC quality has to do with how people are making software these days, and I don't think state-of-the-art optimising compilers and GCs are terrifying at all. Go opts for more traditional, simpler algorithms under the assumption that for many purposes they're good enough. That may be so, but sometimes workloads really are very demanding, and you need the best performance.
