    I've been thinking to learn Rust for these use cases, but always get frustrated with the complexity.

    I find Go is a great middle-ground though! And now there starts to be a few more bio-related tools and toolkits out there, including:

    - https://github.com/vertgenlab/gonomics

    - https://github.com/biogo/biogo

    - https://github.com/shenwei356/bio

    ... except from there being some really popular bio tools written in Go, like:
