For the speed it may depend how you measure it. For me, golang is very popular right now. The idea for the article was to promote (more or less) emerging languages. golang is a great language nonetheless

Golang faster than Rust? I'd be amazed if that's true given Go's GC vs Rusts static memory management. Do you have any sources to support that statement? I'm not being aggressive, I'm happy to be proven wrong, but if you're making a statement like that it needs some backup. A quick Google certainly disagrees: benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.n...

Though there are good reasons to choose go above rust (and vice versa) speed I don't think is one of them.
