It depends on what your field is. If you're writing any form of async code that uses futures, Rust is still firmly in the dark ages. I'm being told there is preliminary async/await support on nightly, but it won't be on stable this year.


If you're writing async code with futures, you're probably writing a web service. Go is a better fit for that.


I'm using both Go and Rust extensively. What I'm doing in Rust, I'm doing in Rust for a reason. Async code is not just for web services.
