There's not even a chance at a competition, because of their respective design goals. Go is explicitly meant to have _really_ fast compilation times, which precludes the Go compilers from any expensive optimisations. Rust, on the other hand, has an explicit goal of being as fast as idiomatic/safe C/C++ while removing the burden of writing the safety yourself, so it really _has_ to be fast.
