people who liked C (and didn't like C++) are more likely to move to go. Rust has a healthy community of ex and current C++ programmers.

People who don't like GC will not move to Go.

I don't like GC (on an ideological level), but I still write most stuff in Go because I'm so insanely productive in it. Will probably use more Rust once async/await is there and mature enough.
