Rust 0.1 came out in the beginning of 2012, about 3 months before Go 1.0 game out (or go1). In the meantime, Rust has changed a lot and is only now close to a 1.0 release.

FWIW, Rust has been on github since June 2010.

rust was announced the same week Go was. it took a while to bring to the open, but it got the "swoon" demographic under its wing almost immediately.
