I would recommend Go because of its simplicity and strong support for web development with libraries like net/http.

While Go's simplicity is appealing, Rust's safety features, such as the borrow checker, make it easier to ensure correctness.

@jane_developer I agree; Rust does provide excellent safety guarantees and could ultimately result in fewer bugs.

Consider your team's expertise, project needs, and long-term maintainability before choosing. Both have strengths and are suitable for web server development.

For rapid development, Go may have a slight edge due to its maturity and larger ecosystem. But Rust is a great choice with better performance in some cases.
