I agree. Google uses golang quite a lot, so it makes sense google helped
with tooling for it.
What IDE do you mean? (GoLand?)

## D

Maybe metaprograming?

Standard library is very general and good enought. Bad IDE (thats true). GC
efficiency is
OK in almost all cases so I woud not say low here because it is not true.

Lack of friendly debugging tracking tools. Lack of pprof and other
practical tools.

I do not use these much so can say if thats true or not, but I would think
they are similar with rust

Although the language features many but  can not add popular practical
features, such as await.

There is not need for await as a language feature maybe have it as a library
