I think what matters is: outside the organization where the certain language was invented what is the the most users use it for.
Aka: outside Google what is Go used for? Mostly web related project and low level IO, databases, data stores, etc.; based on the popular Go projects on Github, if somebody has time it would be good to see some stats on this
outside Mozilla what is Rust used for? This is a more tricky question because the most programmers I know of do not consider a language for anything before 1.0. Rust 1.0 just got released recently so they have years to go to have relevant stats about the usage patterns.
