I don't know what people keep comparing Rust and Go. It might be that they are both after the coveted replace C++ spot shrug.
That said, Rust doesn't have any real applications, because it's not out yet. The core team pretty much states, don't build anything significant in Rust atm.
It'll probably be out next year. Also Rust is a much more difficult language to grok, because it forces you to care about borrows.

That said, Skylight can't really do it another way.
