Rust is Software's Salvation

Go's not been receiving any piles of money from Google. Compare Go's API documentation to Rust's API documentation. Where's the `cargo` and `rustup` equivalent for Go? Compare the number of Go packages to the number of Rust packages. Seems Go's not doing so great despite being stable for much longer.

Did you forget about Samsung? Mozilla and Samsung aren't the only two companies backing Rust.

By TIOBE's stats, Go's popularity is up 1.74%. Rust's is up 0.316%.

Call it money or whatever, but Go seems to be getting substantial TLC from the people working on it for every point release.

Of course, this could just be an easier thing for them to do since their approach is not as ambitious as Rust's.

When was the last time you heard of Samsung being involved with Rust as a company? I'm fairly sure that is no longer a thing.
