Quick GoStart → Rust Curiosity
I’ve been coding in GoLang for about 4 months...mostly APIs with net/http and Gin. I love how fast and “get-out-of-your-way” it is. But after little tour on programming language to learn after GoLang on YouTube, I found myself wondering: “What’s the deal with Rust?”
Zero GC Drama = Predictable Speed
In GoLang, the garbage collector can pop up like an unannounced electricity blackout... small blip, but it’s there. Rust skips GC entirely, using its compile-time “ownership” model to manage memory. No surprise clean-ups, no hidden leaks, just tight, predictable performance. And those “zero-cost abstractions”? Sleek name, but it simply means you write clear, high-level code that compiles down to C-like speed.
Still a Go Fan, But Tempted
I’m not packing up my Gin routes just yet, but Rust’s discipline—strict checks, no shortcuts, and strong safety... has me sold on exploring more.
If you’ve jumped from Go to Rust before, how was the ownership learning curve?
