I agree for the mindshare, because I started with Go and thought Rust looked more elegant, but after actually trying it it became pretty clear that they don't compete. I don't know where you're getting that Go somehow "lost", it sounds like bubble reasoning. Again, it didn't "lost" because they don't compete with each other. It's like saying Nadal lost against Messi because Messi is more popular when they're not playing the same sport, it doesn't make sense.
