Part of the problem - there's highly insufficient amount of bullying in the industry towards companies and decision makers that blindly pick Go as a language for e.g. yet another database or some other form of data-intensive application rather than C# which is what they actually should be choosing if they don't want to use Rust but still something that gives them performant and robust platform for systems programming.

Which is actually my main reason why I shill it here on HN - please, stop picking Go for the fun technical challenges. It's an exceedingly poor choice for that and you are making yourself a fool with it because you never looked at platform implementation details and capabilities to make an informed choice.

The "higher level managed Rust" you are looking for has always been C# even more so in the last couple of years due to proper low-level abstractions and performance it offers.
