Rust offers more fine-grained control over memory, and things like map, filter etc. are more idiomatic than straight for-loops. They are implemented in a way that makes it a zero-cost abstraction compared to regular for-loops.

Generally I think Rust and Go gets compared too much, since they are very different languages both technically and philosophically. But the claim that things like map, filter etc. is unsuitable in a systems programming language (and Rust's definition of 'systems' has more stringent requirements than Go's definition of 'systems') is clearly false.
