to me Rust syntax is less alienating, they adapted ML syntax which is probably second most popular(scala, typescript, kotlin) after C style syntax, while Go from whatever reasons got something totally new.

Which aspects of Rust syntax are adapted from ML? Semantics sure, but to me the syntax seems a lot more similar to C++ (e.g. semicolons, type parameters using <>, etc.)

mostly how you declare var + type, and function with parameters, which is probably majority of code boilerplate.
