The big difference is Rust and Go are new and learned from their predecessors. If they live long enough, they too will become complicated (well maybe not Go since it’s central design paradigm is simplicity) and seem crusty compared to newer counterparts. Java started simple, but has grown and “forked” and now there’s Kotlin or Scala etc. All that variation was because Java was successful and people wanted to use it but in a slightly different way. JavaScript is the same: people keep evolving it _because_ it is so popular.
