Despite being contemporaries, both nominally for systems programming, Rust and Go are very different, starting with memory management. If you're used to writing (correct) C++ programs, particularly those that exploit move semantics in C++11 and later, then you can appreciate what Rust is doing for you, weird syntax and all. On the other hand, if you're fine with a garbage collector, which most people are most of the time, then Go is going to feel more natural. For some people, Go is more comparable to Python than Rust, because of this one big difference.
