Rust is a very clean language with several use cases. It gives a lot of power to the programmer and it's super easier to be productive compared. Rust will win over Go much like React.js won over Angular. I'd predict that the Rust language will dominate and become a must-know in a couple years time.
Rust is the new systems language with a good safety story (which implies some cognitive overhead, but that's fine for low level programming where you don't want a GC), gives C++-like performance by virtue of being close-to-the metal, and a zealot crowd around it with many kinds of political bullshit and ruby / Javascript hipsters learning it and thinking they have understood computer science because they understood difference between stack and heap.
Rust is a fringe language and it won't get a lot of traction, because of more-noise-than-signal more-politics-than-technical-talent surrounding it.
People's negative reaction to this comment believe is that new languages can only solve so many problems. Doesn't matter how great Rust is. So the idea of pushing a new languages too much gets bad reactions.
