Comparing Elixir and Go is reasonable, but I don't think Elixir and Rust have much overlap in the types of projects you would choose them for.

In fact the opposite is true! Rust is a pretty popular choice for writing native code (NIFs) for Elixir. (Similar to Ruby FFI).

See https://github.com/rusterlium/rustler

Discord especially has several real world use cases where they've implemented native code in Rust.

Lots of Golang interest 5 years before Golang existed!

Including the term "Go" is very misleading: Go also refers to a game. That might be why there was interest before the language was a thing.

Just in case somebody didn't know that
