> I got tired of nil checks in Go and became a squeaky wheel in incident retros, where I finally got the chance to rewrite parts of our system in Rust during a refactor.

At a new job, I am writing my first microservice in golang. Used to be a Rust/C++ (kernel) and Python/PHP/JS dev (fullstack). Rust is allowed by team is heavily invested in go already.. I don't think I'll be able to convince them to learn rust! Lol
