When writing long-lived programs (daemons etc) in Rust, I find myself asking *where* I should put data.
In a GC'd language it's just "I have a string" but Rust forces me to find somewhere to put it.
You do get a performance benefit for this work though.
It's interesting to see the "why not Rust?" discussions around the TypeScript news that they're using Go. It shows that Rust has reached a level of maturity that it's a default for some users.
Go does seem to be in a sweet spot for AOT languages with GC though.
