I find it interesting how Rust is gaining momentum in tooling like uv and now rv.

Rust is the new C. Go had a shot but went in an applications direction. I predict that very soon, perhaps even inside of three decades, Rust will become the dominant, first-choice systems programming language.

I think Go is going away. It occupies such a weird niche. People have said it's good for app backends, but you should really have exceptions (JS, Py, Java) for that sort of thing. For systems, just use Rust or worst case C++. For CLIs, it doesn't really matter. For things where portability matters like WASM, can't use Go. Bad syntax and type system on top of it.

What if Google spent all that time and money on something from the outside instead of inventing their own language? Like, Microsoft owns npm now.

You can compile to WASM from Go.
