According to the gitlogs this conversation happened about a year before those were added. We talked about this pretty point blank. It was made clear that while they might use rust in the future and they had rust fans internally, it was a go position.

FWIW I had the same experience with Embark Studios. (Game Dev in Stockholm that prides themselves on doing gamedev in rust.)

Applied for a rust job. Got a Go coding assessment. Was told that the job was Go based.

Ah right, that sucks
