Rust's and Go's strengths are very dissimilar, there's no reason to consider one as the replacement for the other without considering a dozen other worthy languages in between.

Sure, if you make vague enough statements, they're hard to disprove, which might lead you to believe that what you said is correct even though you haven't made a provable or disprovable claim.

There are plenty of problems where one might consider using Go or Rust. The same cannot be said of Go and Racket, or Rust and Racket. I wouldn't consider using Racket for a situation where I need high performance or low memory usage--the numbers just don't work. Likewise I wouldn't look at Go or Rust for building a data-presentation type webapp.
