I don't think it's fair to compare Rust to Go, while operating on nearly the same level. They are targeting a very different crowd. Go has very clean syntax, few reserved words and writes almost as easy as python. This makes go a attractive language for programmers who have a history with languages like php & python but also want more speed. Rust on the other hand has a more complex syntax but allows you more control over memory, thus making it more attractive for those with a history in C or C++. Go is a good language to learn as your first compiled language, easy to write, easy to learn and a good ratio between performance and effort. Rust is (or will be when it's stable) a good language to learn when you have a history in C and you want memory & type safety but still the control you are used to in C/C++.
