Can someone explain why the parent was downvoted? Difference of opinion or is there actual reasoning. Because if there is reasoning, I'd be interested to hear it. But this seems like shaming. Stop. Or explain why he's wrong.
Other than the "Go is more relevant to the crowd here" which is a bit overarching, I don't see what's wrong here.
I'm a Python user that has my eye on Go instead of transitioning to Python3, but letting Rust/Go/Py3 all bake for a bit before doing anything (though Py3 is last on that list as I've lost faith in it at this point). I tend to agree with his viewpoint. Do go on.

I'm not sure if this is the reason, but I have noticed that there is a definite backlash against Go here and on /r/programming, especially when discussed in relation to "better" languages like Haskell and Rust.

FWIW, in English there's no need to use quotes when referencing a word in its standard meaning.

Well done.
Most people writing web apps don't need a language where you have to worry about ownership, but they do need a language that does concurrency really well. It's the same reason you hear more about Python or Ruby than C++ here. Use cases.
Even as Rust matures, it is unlikely that people will be writing a lot of web apps in it.
