I'd say that Wirth himself was/is more a fan of the "80%" part than the "Rust" part, as making things fool-proof would complicate language design and implementation too much, with all the follow-up effects this has. I can't think of anything "modern" that comes close to that, most languages these days are quite feature sink-y. And yes, that includes Go, if we consider Oberon to be somewhat of a baseline. Heck, even his successor's language (Eiffel) is more minimal than what's hip these days.
