IIRC, Discord is famous for making rewrites in rust even before LLMs; eg: that time they rewrote their backend from Go to Rust (but i’d still not be too much trustful; they switched to Rust because Go had a bug but that bug was actually fixed since a few releases and they could’ve just updated but instead choose to rewrite)
To be fair, that might have just been the final straw that broke the camel’s back. I always think of this rant, which definitely feels like there’s probably lots of shortcomings that you can look past momentarily, but eventually come back to haunt you: https://fasterthanli.me/articles/i-want-off-mr-golangs-wild-ride
