It will outperform them (although not by much in the case of Go and C#), and it's also a pleasant language to use. It has a number of features like traits and enums which make it possible to expresa business logic in a way that can feel more natural than OOP classes.

It's also fantastic for reliability. In the same way that Java and C# represent a step up from python/php/js in compiler driven correctness, Rust represents another jump of similar magnitude.

Depending on what you're measuring, it can outperform Go and c# by an appreciable margin. I built http APIs in all three languages which depended on json parsing speed and PRNG speed and the Rust version was well ahead, but these were pretty naive implementations, no 3rd party PRNGs or anything.
