Rust used to be a GC-based language too - very similar to Go in fact. They didn't abandon GC until sometime prior to the 1.0 release, well after Go first came out.

Early on Rust had optional GC boxing before it morphed into Rc/Arc, it never required GC of heap allocated objects like Go/Java/C# et al. Deterministic resource management has always been the default with Rust.
