my somewhat controversial opinion:
Never use a language that is controlled by a big enterprise. Look at Java, look at C#, yes they are strong and the market for them is usually good, but they are absolutely not fun to work with. You have to just stay in their ecosystem and you're forced to use their tooling, and their stupid decisions. For example try to develop a .NET app on linux. Or do almost anything with Java. It's a huge pain in the ass.
So I would never get too serious with Go. But rust is like C, and JS, although it has flaws, it's much more fun to work with, and its not controlled by anyone, and will be here for a couple of decades atleast.

If I look at the regular drama in the Rust Foundations, I very much prefer big corporations. At least their teams are professional.
