Not even that, but you can't compare the main devs with Go to Rust in terms of personal accomplishment. Rob Pike who made an entire operating system at Bell Labs and has published quite a bit. Every programmer should go read Rob Pike's regular expression parser, that he wrote in like an hour and is published and annotated in the book Beautiful Code. Brad Fitzpatrick who made memcached, openid, and uh LiveJournal, Russ Cox also from Bell Labs, and many others. It's an all-star team operating under Google's demanding auspices in an ivory tower of unfathomable wealth, servers, needs and technology. These guys aren't novices, they're not going to make a shitty programming language. If you are unhappy with some part of Go (as I am actually, I'd like interfaces to know about properties as well as methods but maybe that's weird) they've probably thought about it and have a good reason for whatever choice they made.
