I think people compare them because they were both designed as alternatives to C++ (or at least with that in mind). What people might miss is that they were solving two very different problems: Rust aims to be as fast (or faster) while guaranteeing memory safety, while Go aims to be easy to understand and get productive as quickly as possible. |

I find it really interesting when people say this, because to me, Go only seems like a suitable replacement for higher-level C++, whereas Rust could conceivably be used in any domain where C++ would be suitable. I'm not sure if this is the general consensus or just my perception though, so this could be clouded by my bias of being a heavy Rust user.
