Fair point. I am mostly going on what I have seen others do on streams when comparing rust and go. Go seemed faster to get good performance and rust sometimes had to write a ton of code to get the same performance.

I don't know if you can selectively not use Go's garbage collector, but that seems to be the only reason Go might be theoretically slower than rust.
