This looks like a Perl vs Python question from late 90s. Back then Perl had a huge traction, mostly from sysadmins. Python got traction from web backend, and systems (redhat used to have a good python conde for starting-up servers). I think both Rust and Go will coexist un different industries/use cases. IMHO the killer app/use for GO are lambdas/cloud functions because they are cheaper to execute than python. For Rust, I expect to see someday a unikernel that boots an app into a VM/light container.
