Some popular Rust projects include actix-web (HTTP serving), diesel (database ORM), Firecracker (micro VMs for serverless). Web APIs and virtualisation / cloud computing are also areas where Go is popular. They're both statically typed compiled system programming languages; both trying to provide solutions for safe memory and concurrency.

It's common for different languages to have libraries that aim to solve the same problems like ORM and web server. Perl and Lisp have these as well. But this doesn't necessarily mean that these languages share a great deal of sensible usecases. Rust and Go make very different tradeoffs.
