From an anecdotal standpoint, having used both. Go is easier then rust in aggregate. This of course is just based off of feeling as there's no quantitative metric able to aggregate each dimension into a single number. This is 100% accounting for program + debugging. The anecdotal reason for this is because the human brain finds it easier to debug golang bugs then it does to write and completely understand all the semantics of rust. This is the same thing as why python is easier then C++ EVEN though counter-intuitively C++ has strict type checking and python doesn't. Rust in my mind is ultimately better than C++ but it unfortunately, like C++, it retains a level a complexity past a certain reasonable level that prevents it from hitting ubiquity. Thus it's not the answer. There will be in the future some language out there that will be just as flexible/safe and less complex.
