Rust, Go (Golang), and Java are three distinct programming languages, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Let’s compare these languages across various dimensions to help you make an informed choice: Performance: Rust: Rust is known for its excellent performance, particularly in system-level programming and scenarios where low-level control over memory is essential. It can often outperform Go and Java in these domains. Go: Go offers good performance, especially for concurrent applications. While not as low-level as Rust, it is faster than many dynamically typed languages. Java: Java also offers good performance due to its Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation and optimization....

Pitchforks down, please! I felt your anger as soon as you clicked on the article. I have nothing against Rust — I prefer it for various use cases. All programming languages are means to an end. In my case, Rust simply did not cut it, and I had to gut the project and rewrite it in Golang. The project is a simple backend webhook service for Hasura. If you aren’t familiar with Hasura, it’s a wrapper around a Postgres database that gives you an instant GraphQL API. It’s very handy for people like me, who are solo developers building out...
