I am a proficient Go programmer but I have this sensation I cannot really describe about that not being enough.
I feel something similar with Zig.
Am I the only one?
If you think Rust doesn't really matter for that and you can even do that with PHP and it's the problem and the execution that matters then focus on building a great product instead of getting into the Hype wagon and missing out on the bigger picture of what really matters.

This is how many successful businesses operate in the "atoms" world.
You take a product or service that's already popular and has a solid channel for distribution, you transform it or add additional value to it and sell it for a profit.
Think about a $8 precut, packaged pineapple at the grocery store.
Once you get your business going and get additional funding or generate cash flow, you can invest in getting rid of some of the middlemen so that you can take their profits too (start growing your own pineapples).
Sounds pretty straightforward, but the selling part is the difficult one.
Especially when these products can be built by a school student in an hour using ChatGPT?
I think the barrier of entry to atoms world companies are quite higher than that.
A lot of technically smart people over analyze everything and don't take any decisions that are non deterministic.
You can also say many technically smart people are also heavily short sighted and misses the big picture.
That's why you need the Jobs. Steve Wozniak by himself would have not started any kind of company and not remotely a company like Apple.
So the ones who are courageous, takes the risk and have a big picture vision gets the money.
Also the reason why many technically smart people never gets laid.
