The Tor Project is switching to Rust

and easier to learn.

and better funded.

and easier to find devs.

They both suck getting new devs for

Also, just because it's part of Google doesn't make go better funded. Theyd probably be fine killing go.

Definitely easier to learn though :P

i have no dog in the fight, but based on tor release schedule it seems to me that the team is very very talented and rust complexity is not a challenge for them

Go been around for quite a while now. It isn't going anywhere.

I'm willing to be Rust suck a ton more to hire devs. Since, as we both agree, Go is easy to learn. Any C#, PHP or Java dev can get going with Go in not time.

Rust has been around for over 10 years now. In the last five years the language hasn't changed much and has gotten better and better

Rust is going to feel more familiar to Tor contributors than Go. Based on the list of platinum members (which includes Google and Tor btw) there's some serious money going into the Rust Foundation, assuming it's managed properly I can't see funding as an issue.

I don't see any transparency with the funds. So it's hard to grasp how much is it.

But it's never going to surpass Go which is owned by a 4 trillion dollar conglomerate.

I didn't like Rust one bit and gave up learning it. Go on the other hand is quite nice.
