This makes me further appreciate how golang's features tend to work entirely at compile time, which is also fast.

One of the other things that makes me worry about Rust is how similar it's depends look to npm projects, where there's a kitchen sink of third party (not the language's included library of code, and not the project's code) libraries pulled in for seemingly small utilities.

Go’s features work only at compile time, but are far more limited. I experience more crashes in Go than in any other compiled language because of how limited it is as a language.
