Go is a lot easier to learn than Rust, and there are jobs programming Go available now.  This means that you could be working professionally with Go quite soon.<p>Rust is more challenging, and there aren&#x27;t many jobs available yet.  But there is a possibility for Rust to displace C&#x2F;C++ for certain classes of applications, and that is a very big deal.  Also, skill in a more difficult language is a scarce commodity.  If Rust does take off and you&#x27;re one of the relatively few people who understand it well, this would make make you quite valuable.
