Care to elaborate what's bothering you with Go? ..or point to some related blogs or similar. |

Sure, I'm not writing it all down again but here is a list of lists of problems with Go: Go is not good |

This release comes with minor usability improvements and features. * A new 'lookupIPAddr' template function is available for resolving DNS A records in templates. Thanks to @landro for the pull request! * Handling of "non-standard" resource set structures has been improved to result in better error messages and behaviour in several places. Release binaries are signed with GPG key `66F505681DB8F43B` which is verified on my Github profile. -------------- Note: This is the last Kontemplate release that will be written in Go. Rob Pike's art project has proven its point but I believe it is ethically questionable and morally indefensible to continue on this path. You can track #72 for the Rust-rewrite of Kontemplate.

Old issue text below the line!
I can't defend (mostly to myself) maintaining a Go project anymore and it's time to go for the Rust rewrite.
Milestone 6 will track the progress of the rewrite. Some choices that have been made:
This issue stays open until the milestone is resolved.
Preferably Rust.
Either way, I'd like to not break compatibility with existing setups which means I have to re-implement Go's templates in whatever I choose.
Doing this in Rust could contribute some useful things to the Rust ecosystem I suppose.
Note: This is mostly for my own sanity.
