I think Go's been a mature base for those kinds of projects long enough for them to have been written. Rust not only is newer but arguably is still pretty immature for network programming. For sync code, the library base isn't there and probably never will be (because most of the libraries are being written for tokio instead). For async code, there are still a bunch of well-known difficulties. [1] This is my biggest complaint about Rust. People are aware of it and working to improve it, so I hope to see a change over the next several years. It will never be as simple as Go, though. Go's green threads model has downsides but it is really pleasant and simple to program in.
