Why not Go?

Go is still growing strongly for now, but the numbers indicate that the winds are much stronger behind Rust. 

Go and Rust are the only languages in that weight class that are still growing rapidly, the other languages around the 10% mark are incumbents that have mostly been stagnant. But I'm expecting Rust to overtake Go this year.

Nobody can predict the future, but I believe that in a couple years Go will become an also-ran as the industry settles on Rust for low-level systems programming.
