For me this is pretty easy. It's about leadership.
The leaders of Go foster an attitude of exclusiveness (just like a month ago they wanted to get rid of the Go subreddit in favor of a solely Google owned option of Google groups).
The leaders of Rust are very receptive and helpful to new people. They are on IRC / Reddit and many other channels.
I'd much rather invest my time into a truly open language and to me, that is not Go.
