The progress on the error messages truly is worth highlighting, and kudos to the team for all the hard work there. It's one of the hardest things to get right in a programming language, particularly if that language has a fussy compiler.

Is the current status of Rust that it is slower than Go ? According to this previous post - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23058147

While Go may be faster somewhere, that post was not a good comparison.

See the discussion around it and the patches made by the community and the final results.

See the individual benchmarks: https://github.com/christianscott/levenshtein-distance-bench...

I’ve been using the anyhow crate and it’s made error handling almost painless.

Now that there's been 5 years since v1.0, is there any consensus on design mistakes that Rust made? Any mistakes that people wish they could turn back time and do differently but can't because it would break compatibility with too much existing code out there? That's the more interesting list to me.
