Golang might be better for writing robust software, if that is the goal. Robust services that don't go down.

Both have their place but after writing both extensively, I much prefer Rust - despite the pitfalls.

My biggest critisim of Rust (in comparison to Go) is the lack of a powerful standard library while Go's standard library is outstanding. I would also like to see standardized interfaces in Rust (like AsyncWrite) and in general the async story could be better - though I appreciate the versatility.
