> Go was released in 2012, Rust in 2015. Are you saying we are still in the early days of Rust?

Release dates mean very little. Golang had rapid adoption early on. Rust only recently became one of the fastest growing languages. Golang stabilized a lot of things about the language and library early on. Rust still has a lot of common features gated behind nightly.

There is a fun tool for comparing the number of PRs on Github by language that shows the difference: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2024/1

So yes, I think we're in the early days of Rust.
