Both Rust and Go are descendants of Limbo, Pike's prior language, although while Limbo's DNA remains strong in Go it's much more diffuse in Rust.

While those influences are important to Rust's history, they were mostly removed from the language before 1.0, notably green threads and the focus on channels as a core concurrency primitive. Channels still exist as a library in stdlib, but they're infinitely buffered by default, and aren't widely used.
