Go is very easy to learn. You can be up and running with Go very quickly and it's fantastic for simple applications. The time investment to be reasonably good at writing Go is low. There's little reason not to learn Go.

Rust is difficult to learn, unless you already have a lot of experience with existing low level languages. Getting complex programs up and running with Rust is cumbersome. But the performance is excellent, you can have a high degree that your program is rock solid, and there are entire classes of security issues don't happen in Rust. For the types of applications where Rust does well, it does very well indeed. The time investment to become a decent Rust programmer is high, but this higher barrier to entry can make your programming skills even more valuable since there's less supply to meet the demand.
