I agree the Rust compiler is super nice and gives good useful suggestions. I didn’t realize Golang was used for infrastructure as a standard. Backend and infrastructure is what I’m more interested in. Currently I work in the front end cloud space, but am always looking to go back to OS/infrastructure development like I did for a while.

Go or Rust

Personally, Rust! I'm also learning it, after a career with various languages. It's nice to have a compiler check so much! And it's wonderfully fast and (can be) very memory efficient.

Is there a specific industry that you are looking at that might have a preference? For infrastructure tooling, golang is pretty standard. Rust has fewer jobs available if you are planning to get a job in a specific language.
