If they were being compared, shouldn't we also see the inverse? There is a discussion about Rust on the front page right now, with 230 comments at time of writing, and not a single mention of Go.
In fairness, the next Rust discussion a few pages deep does mention Go, but in the context of:
1. Someone claiming that GC languages are inherently slow, where it was pointed out that it doesn't have to be that way, using Go as an example. It wasn't said in comparison with Rust.
2. A couple of instances of the same above behaviour; extolling the virtues of Rust and randomly deriding Go. As strange as the above behaviour is, at least Go was already introduced into the discussion. In these mentioned cases Go came from completely out in left field, having absolutely nothing to do with the original article or having any relation to the thread, only showing up seemingly because someone felt the need to put it down.
