I agree with everything you said :) I also think Lisp is not truly "better" in the sense "worse-is-better" is ascribing. But if we suspend disbelief - then the Go vs. Rust story matches the one described in "Worse is better". Perhaps Rust will win out in the end and "worse is better" won't prevail. Despite liking the idea of Rust very much, I don't think it will.

This worldview is overly simplistic. There is no indication that languages ever "win out in the end" and there is no reason to suspect that the industry is not large enough to support healthy ecosystems for both Go and Rust, who, again, are not competitors.
