Go changed the world in that it made the rapid development of things like Docker, Kubernetes, possible, along a multitude of other "cloud first" services. This in turn made possible things that were much harder to do before. A single trivial example being the massive NN training pipelines by self-driving companies. All this could have been done another way, using another language, but not at the same speed as what was enabled by the ergonomy of Go, and not with the same enthusiasm. Arguably, the boiling mix phenomenon made a multitude of things happen and possible, by making them easier to do, thus crossing a required minimum threshold where enough people have the time, desire and ability to achieve something. Rust will do the same. It's like catalysts in chemistry. They are not the reagents, but they often make the reaction statistically possible in the first place.
