Go is super easy to learn especially if you already know a different language. I recently wrote "Twenty minutes to learn Go" [0] - anyone who knows a programming language can easily become productive in Go in less than an hour.

Go is in widespread use in server side web development. I love Rust, and I use it in web-related contexts as well, but it is not yet clear if Rust will ever be used generally as a server-side language. It will most likely never reach the status of Node or Go due to it's learning curve.
Learning Rust will be a great experience, and I suggest you go for it. But in the interest of getting hired for web development, it probably should not be your first option. Stick with Node.js or Go and learn something fun on the side.
