Point well taken, golang feels painful to use compared to java due to its weak type system (to be fair, I have NOT used it since generics were added, so I don't know if that helped a lot -- that was always my main pain point, it made collections kinda useless -- it's not a coincidence that java added generics (1.5) soon after it added collections (1.2))

Anyway, I'm not sure if this is a situation where the extra power of Rust's type system could not possibly be made more performant and it's just a natural tradeoff, or whether it's a thing where it's a matter of time before Rust (or some competitor) catches up and we can have it all
