I wouldn't put Go as a follow up to C world. More like to Java one. But Rust is indeed a follow up to C/C++ world.

Well yes: touted as 'a better C' but I suspect they've succeeded at 'a better Java'. But it's more fair to say that Rust is a _retry_ at creating a C++-like language organized around concepts of safety and ML-like features ('like C and Haskell had a baby' as one person put it.) You can get _quite confused_ applying C++ concepts blindly in Rust ;)
