> Rust development was already in the air a bit at the time that Go made its debut. Go's debut was in 2009 (1.0 a few years later, but you could have used it not long after its announcement at the end of 2009). Rust's first public release was in 2012. It's very unlikely that early, pre-public release Rust could have had any significant real or hypothetical influence on Go.
