Yeah I think of go as an upgraded scripting language in a lot of ways. In a lot of ways I think go or scala are going to become the standard "oh crap we need to scale and preform better" web application languages. I think in most cases if I'm building a green field web application on the server side I'd be hard pressed to not choose go or scala at the beginning. Nearly as quick a development cycle and a MUCH better scaling story. Rust is too my a language aimed squarely at what I mentally model at tight loop applications, web browser engines, game engines, real time network servers etc... Go has amazing performance compared to python or ruby or even node.js but the GC is still too unpredictable to work well enough for those type of apps IMO.
