From the outside the Rust community seems so defensive about Go that it makes me very reluctant to dive deeper into Rust.

Yeah, same. They’re both nice languages, they both have great tooling, and they both have areas where they shine. I don’t see them as competitors really, but “You can also implement X in Y” is a fairly useless statement, of course you can.
I’m glad we have as many languages options as we do, and I enjoy writing a variety of languages for a variety of different projects. Sure, I have moments where I think “ugh why can’t I do X in language Y” or “C is cleaner in Y” etc etc.
I’ve found helpful people, critics, and fanatics in every language community. Don’t let that dissuade you from learning Rust (or Go, or …)
