I'm wanting to fiddle with Go or Rust for fun but I can't

>I'm specifically asking about Go and Rust because I want to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of C
What? You might be better off asking about C if you want to know about C.

Rust is a meme. Go is a meme but you can get paid to use it.

They have completely different use cases. Go is for writing network services, like the backend of a web app. Rust is for doing high speed low level work where you have to talk to the OS or the hardware directly.

Both are fun to fiddle with. Rust is a lot more involved though. I personally enjoyed Go more simply because it felt nicer.
Rust is also nice, but it tries to be more revolutionary by introducing new concepts like ownership with the goal to make systems software safer but still efficient. If you're interested in that, then Rust is for you.
Go on the other hand has made it a goal to only add the necessary features to the language, but put these features together in such a way that they work nicely together. So it's a really simple and well designed language and pretty easy to get into.
In the end you have to decide which of these philosophies you like more personally.

>Go
>well design

I'll just leave this here
