{ Both are honest. Go's honesty is simplicity: say no to abstraction; coordinate through explicitness. Rust's honesty is explicitness about memory: do not hide it; make lifetimes visible. But Go's simplicity scales to team size; Rust's explicitness scales to correctness. For systems programming, correctness is the higher requirement. But Go dominates systems programming anyway. Why? Because simplicity compounds. A simple language scales to team coordination in ways that even perfect correctness cannot match. Rust is the better individual language; Go is the better social language. }
