As someone who don't work actively in both Go and Rust, I perceive Rust to be readable and I feel more comfortable writing in Rust due to how strict it is in term of correctness.
If I have to write go, I need to have an IDE well setup. And I had to do it a couple of times to tweak a simple restapi. Rust is surprisingly faster to write more complex things, down to the details such as when I want strings to be obfuscated in the resulting binary.
Reading is also so much easier in Rust, surprisingly, despite the complex syntax. It is easier to swallow complex concepts such as how ethernet packet is shaped, or how entitiy component system stores data and execute systems, compared to reading a simple API in Go.
But again, this is just me.

The problem is, not every go developer is you.
