The potential for Rust to innovate in a space completely dominated by C and C++ in the past decade has piked the interest of people who had never considered any other language for development.

Go, in contrast, is fairly unremarkable language. That doesn't make it bad in any way (tried and true combined with a primary emphasis in maintainable software is a winning combo), it's just that it's attacking a space which many other languages have dealt with before.

The idiom is "piqued interest". Go has more "Piked interest".
