The difference is I can read Go code while having no experience with it. Erlang and Haskell are inscrutable to 90% of programmers.

If you think this isn't important, I will point out that Rust has been frantically trying to look more like Go and less like garbage in every release. Or, I will also point out that the Elixir project exists, which basically does the same thing for Erlang.

Rust is not "frantically trying to look more like Go". There are places where Rust's syntax deliberately differs from that of Go (for example, putting colons between values and types), and that will not change.
