I've written fairly complex projects in both languages, but have a great deal more experience in go. I think tptacek nails it with this advice: go is much easier to learn. One of the things i really like about it is how easy go code is to read coming from almost any language. It makes sense to get comfortable with go first because the time commitment to achieve basic competence with rust is much greater. Rust will definitely open your mind but it will take some time to get there.
