I think you should learn Rust, because there are actually things there that you can't learn about in other languages.

1. How to manually manage memory more safely with aid from a borrow checker. 2. If you don't already have experience with an ML/Haskell descent language, it will teach you about more powerful static type systems. 3. General low-level programming concepts that you wouldn't know without experience in C/C++.

Whereas Go doesn't really have much to teach you. The community says it themselves: Go is a very simple language. Even if you needed to learn it for a job, onboarding new workers onto a Go project is really easy. So I don't think you'd add much to your resume just by tacking Go onto the list of languages you know. What Go can teach you about:

1) CSP - Communicating Sequential Processes. I believe this is the concurrency model behind goroutines and channels. But you can learn about CSP in other languages.

I've only started the read the canonical Go Programming Language book, but I believe that Go also permits shared-memory concurrency, it just advocates for CSP harder.
