I'm willing to be Rust suck a ton more to hire devs. Since, as we both agree, Go is easy to learn. Any C#, PHP or Java dev can get going with Go in not time.
Rust is going to feel more familiar to Tor contributors than Go. Based on the list of platinum members (which includes Google and Tor btw) there's some serious money going into the Rust Foundation, assuming it's managed properly I can't see funding as an issue.
i have no dog in the fight, but based on tor release schedule it seems to me that the team is very very talented and rust complexity is not a challenge for them
and better funded.
and easier to find devs.
