I'm not too worried about the fact that Google owns Go. They may be converged, but they're still a company that has a multitude of legal reasons not to fuck with their consumer base. They're not going to suddenly update Go with code that wipes your hard drive if you're from Russia.

Rust, on the other hand, is just a bunch of random devs. Many of them are terminally online Twitter trannies who own nothing, so they don't care about being sued after they introduce malicious code. That's what I'm worried about.

C++ is a complete mess that gets extremely confusing in a hurry and C is where joy goes to die. I've used both extensively and do not enjoy either. I luckily don't have to do low-level programming too often, but when I do I'd like to at least suffer slightly less than programmers did 40 years ago.
