Rust has a unique niche it can occupy - namely, it's a "zero-overhead" memory safe low-level language.

I never understood why is go brought up next to rust all so often, when it has barely any unique qualities, and is a high-level GCd language with a dumb type system that outputs a single binary... of which there are 1000 other examples. At least it has good tooling, I guess.
