Unpopular opinion: I would like to have a language with the performance and guarantees of Rust, but the verbosity of Golang.
Personally, as an average programmer, I like the "don't be clever" approach in Go code. As much as I understand the good feeling while writing clever and short code, I really hate to read it. I find it just unreasonable hard.

@hikhvar Rust pays it’s security with more code. Thus golang is cleaner and easier to read. Fir me Rust is for large projects. Golang forcsnall and midsize projects.

@Wegus actually, rust is less code than Golang if measured in characters typed. Maybe it's something personal, but I find short cut concepts like the "?" , or optional return statements very hard to read. Especially, if you nest them in clojures.

@hikhvar i’ve seen comparisons from small web api implementations. Maybe they had been bad examples.
