By TIOBE's stats, Go's popularity is up 1.74%. Rust's is up 0.316%.

Call it money or whatever, but Go seems to be getting substantial TLC from the people working on it for every point release.

Of course, this could just be an easier thing for them to do since their approach is not as ambitious as Rust's.
