To me, Go and Rust are about equally appealing. Rust is more complex to me because it's a lower-level language; Go looks like a higher-level cousin. I learned from Rust that I dislike curly braces. The language itself seems great conceptually, but I prefer the appearance of languages like Python that drop curly braces. If Rust was developed without curly braces I'd probably be [more] obsessed with it. Strangely enough, parentheses and square brackets are also appealing. I also dislike writing code where whitespace is meaningful, even though I prefer to read it. It's just the appearance of curly braces that bothers me.
